Buying at a US Auction?

Oh boy, have we been spammed again! Roll on Feb 15 when these robospammers will be locked out.
Anyway, the reason for this post was just a heads up to all you guys in the US who have been thinking about buying at auction for the first time. Sotheby's in New York are holding an auction on Feb 10 and have a nice selection of VP's on offer, including (at low estimate):
11 bottles Grahams '45 for $5,500
12 bottles Taylor's '63 for $2,400
Taylors 1977, Grahams 1945, Taylors 1992 and Grahams 1970.
Of course, there's no guarantee that the wines will sell at low estimate and you then have to add on buyers commission and freight, but there might be some bargains to be had!
