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.

A Group of German Red Cross Documents to Auxiliary Nurse Luise Ziegler

A grouping of German Red Cross related documents, consisting of two Red Cross personnel cards (234x169mm and 209x148mm, extremely fine condition with light scuffing), a Red Cross check-up slip, dated to June 3, 1940 (209x149mm, near mint condition with folding crease), a handwritten résumé by Ziegler (209x294mm, extremely fine condition with folding creases), and three identical photos in uniform, one on the personnel card (43x64mm, extremely fine condition, lightly warped).

Footnote: Luise Emilie Ziegler was born June 20, 1921 in Kieselbronn, southwest Germany, where she grew up as the daughter of a farmer. After finishing eight years of school, she worked on the family farm and also received two and a half years of additional education at a continuation school in Pforzheim. In late 1939, she went to the agricultural school in Pforzheim, but already in January 1940 she joined the RedCross . Ziegler took the basic class from February to June 1940 and qualified as an auxiliary nurse. She was then sworn in in October 1940.
