You do not need regular expression in this case.
It seems you need just these two locations:

location = /auction {
    proxy_pass http://192.168.1.210;
}

to proxy requests like "/auction?id=1332416535292370.0097187543142212"

And

location /auction/ {
    proxy_pass http://192.168.1.210/;
}

to proxy "/auction/some/page" to "http://192.168.1.210/some/page".
