After reading Sotheby's terms it appears they have a license to do pretty much anything they want.

I guess it's good to be rich and powerful.

Edited to add Corey posted the same time as me, and he brings up a very important point: when you plan to bid on a significant item in an auction, and you can't view it in person, pick up the phone, have them take out the object, and ask them as many questions as you can.
