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 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.

Footnote: Luis Trenker (1892–1990), born Alois Franz Trenker, is from the South Tyrol region, at the time of his birth part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, modern day Italy. He fought in the First World War in Galicia (modern day Poland) and in the mountain war against Italy, ending the war in the rank of Lieutenant. His acting and directing career started in the early 1920s. Many of his films exploited the idea of a life in connection to one’s home and roots, which the Nazis tried to use as part of their propaganda. To avoid having to succumb to government pressure, Trenker eventually moved to Rome in 1940. In the 1950s and 60s, Trenker concentrated on making movies and writing books mostly about the regions of Tyrol, Austria, and his birthplace Southern Tyrol, now Italy.
