The above answers the original question but I will add mine. If you are not going to be present for the auction, do you really know the condition of the machine? If it is being inspected by the auction company be very careful to read and understand every word the post about it. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they are going to mislead you. But if you are not going to inspect it personally or have a knowledgeable person you know and trust be prepared to the possibility of unseen problems. You can not expect an inspector for the auction company to work the machine hard and spend hours checking everything out.
