Buying from auction ?

Wondered if anyone has bought online from an auction house such as Sotherbys or other respected auctioneer ?

Was watching two Speedmasters last week - an Apollo XI 30th anniversary model (Tranquility base inscription) and a Galaxy Express 999 model - both looked in great condition with all boxes and papers and sold eventually for CHF2,200 (EUR1,900 / GBP1,700 / US$2,200).

On top of this was a 20% buyers premium plus 7% sales tax.

Was specifically interested in the Apollo XI edition.

But is this a good deal and are there any pitfalls to be aware of buying from an online auction house ?
