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:

A French Volunteer Charlemagne Collar Tab

Woven in grey threads on black wool, with standard buckram backing; unworn, in mint condition; a typical Dachau made tab. It is certain that the collar tab was manufactured, but no evidence surfaced if it was ever issued and worn. Footnote: The 33rd Waffen Grenadier SS-Division “Charlemagne” was made up with French Volunteers. They were known to be amongst the last German formations to see action in a fierce battle during the closing days of World War II in Berlin, where they held positions in the center of the City and around the Hitler’s bunker, holding the positions against the fierce attacks of the Russian/Soviet armed forces.
