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:

A 1942 Postcard Sent from POW at Buchenwald

A postcard, measuring 148x104mm, extremely fine condition with minor scuffing and soiling. It was sent to Mrs. L. Szulczewska in Radom, eastern Poland. The sender’s name is Szulczewski, his first name is indecipherable. However, sender and recipient seem to be husband and wife. Szulczewski is held in the concentration camp of Buchenwald in block 27. His number is 2247. The card states that he may receive and write a card every six weeks. It is dated to April 19, 1942. Szulczewski, writing in German, gives thanks for letters and money sent to him. He states that he is of good health. He asks how the family has celebrated Easter, and hopes that everybody is healthy, too. He also asks if they received his watches and money, since he hasn’t heard anything about that yet.
