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:

Sportabzeichen Hauptstelle”, property of the SA sports badge central office, and maker mark Berg & Nolte A.G., Lüdenscheid. Footnote: The recipient of the award book and certificate is Hartmut Gehler from Dresden. The book is dated to August 10, 1941. The badge was awarded on October 24, 1942. Gehler was born November 14, 1923, so he was only 17 years old when he first started to achieve the qualifications for the sports badge, and 18 when it was awarded to him. Gehler was part of the NSKK (National Socialist Motor Corps), unit 3/M33. The achievements Gehler had to reach in order to get the badge included several athletic and military disciplines, including hand grenade long throw and cross country running wearing a gas mask. All in all, he achieved 878 points.
