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.

An SS-Allach Munich Child Monk Figurine

White porcelain, glazed, underglaze green manufacture mark "SS-Allach" within an octagon, designer marked "T. KÄRNER" (Professor Theodor Kärner) and model numbered "81" on the bottom, figurine illustrating the child monk emblem that appears on the City of Munich's coat-of-arms, with a book in his lowered left hand and a scroll in his raised right hand, standing upon a pedestal base, 56 mm x 79 mm x 171 mm in height, free of chipping and contact marks. Near mint. Footnote: The coat of arms of Munich (Münchner Wappen) depicts a young monk dressed in black holding a red book. It has existed in a similar form since the 13th century, though at certain points in its history it has not depicted the central figure of the monk at all. As the German name for Munich, München, means of Monks, the monk in this case is a self-explanatory symbol (canting arms) who represents the city of Munich.
