Because generally speaking you're not looking for bargains at auction. You're looking for special pieces that rarely surface on the market and are usually puy up for auction rather than on the internet. It also gives the watch credentials/providence so when you sell again you can use that previous public sale in the negotiation. That being said, a friend bought a ridiculous patek 2508 (picrel) at auction that noone believed in because of a flaw that was easily fixed, so you can still get lucky.
