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

An Iron Cross 1st Class Award Document to the 1st Company of Light Flak

A certificate, measuring 148x211mm, very fine condition with folding creases, and several rips and tears. It states that Oberwachtmeister (Artillery equivalent of Oberfeldwebel = Senior Sergeant) Lampe of the 1st Company of Light Flak Battalion 783 (v) was awarded the Iron Cross 1st Class on May 2, 1945. The document is signed in blue ink by a Major General, possibly Klaus Uebe (1900–1968), Commanding General and Commander of the Luftwaffe Command East Prussia and a recipient of the Knight’s Cross. It shows a stamp of the 1st Battalion of Flak Regiment 29 which at the time, along with Light Flak Battalion 783, were stationed in the vicinity of Königsberg (modern day Kaliningrad, Russia) on the coast of the Baltic Sea.
