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

Germany, DAF. Labour Front Books and ID Card for Father and Son Osterhage

A DAF book for Leopold Osterhage, measuring 106x150mm, near mint condition with light scuffing; a DAF book for Karl-Heinz Osterhage, measuring 110x152mm, extremely fine condition with light scuffing and light warping; and an ID card for Karl-Heinz Osterhage, 4 pages, linnen in celluloid case, measuring 105x147mm, extremely fine condition with minimal fraying and light soiling.

Leopold Osterhage, the father, was born on June 10, 1892. He joined the DAF on July 1, 1936. The book contains stamps for each month that Osterhage paid his DAF membership fees, starting in November 1937 and ending in December 1943. However, two stamps state that he kept paying his fees all the way to the end of the war, until May 1945.

Karl-Heinz Osterhage, the son, was born on May 16, 1923. He joined the DAF on February 1, 1943. The book contains stamps for February 1943 to August 1944. An additional stamp states that he also paid his fees during March of 1945.

The ID card is dated to Duisburg (western Germany) on November 10, 1939 and valid for five years.
