What's a max bid?

Your maximum bid should be the highest amount you're willing to pay for an item.

Your entered maximum bid will not be disclosed to the seller or other auction participants at any point.

Max bidding example:

If the current auction price is $100 dollars and you place a maximum bid of $120 dollars, the system will bid $101 dollars on your behalf.

If no other participant places a bid, you win that auction lot for $101 dollars.

If another auction participant places a bid of $110 dollars, the system will subsequently place a bid of $111 dollars on your behalf. The system will continue to bid in $1.00 dollar increments until your maximum bid of $120 dollars is exceeded.

If another auction participant places a bid for $125 dollars, the auction lot price will display $121 dollars having exceeded your previously submitted maximum bid by $1.00 dollar.

Buyer's Premium

All bids are subject to a Buyer's Premium which is in addition to the placed successful bid. The following rate of Buyer's Premium will be added to the Hammer Price of each Lot that you purchase:

Twenty-Two Percent (22%) of the Hammer Price

A Wartime Picture Postcard of Signed by Ewald Kraus

Measuring 85x136mm, mint condition. It is signed in blue ink: E. Kraus, Major.

Footnote: Ewald Kraus (1902–1994) was a recipient of the Knight’s Cross. At the end of the war he held the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. He fought with the Panzer Artillery Regiment 102 in Poland, France, and Russia. In late 1943 he joined the Heavy Artillery Detachment 672, and since September of 1944 he served with the Werfer (Mortar) Regiment 85, with which he participated in the Battle of the Bulge. “Werfer” is short for Nebelwerfer (Smoke Mortar). In reality this name was chosen for disinformation purposes, because these troops often used poison gas, but also high-explosive shells.
