In this article, the authors consider the private-value auction setting where the true distribution of bidders' valuations is unknown. The seller and each bidder, however, know its approximation. In this framework, it is shown that the dominant-strategy mechanism secures the seller with the highest revenue guarantee. Besides, if the seller is restricted to using a dominant-strategy mechanism, we have characterized the transfer reducing mechanism that helps the seller to obtain a vanishing loss as the estimates by her and the bidders get close to the truth.
