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 Wartime Daybook Page Signed by Waffen-SS Lieutenant General Hermann Prieß

A newspaper cutout picture of Hermann Prieß, measuring 65x93mm, with his signature in blue ink below it, and a newspaper article about him on the back. The entire page measures 148x199mm, extremely fine condition with two punched holes, and was part of a collector’s autograph book.

Footnote:SS-Gruppenführer and Lieutenant General of the Waffen-SS Hermann Prieß (1901–1985) was a recipient of the Knight’s Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords, and the German Cross in Gold. He commanded the infamous SS Division Totenkopf (Death’s Head). He was later appointed the leader of the 1st SS Panzer Corps, which he led during the Battle of the Bulge. He was found guilty of his participation in the Malmedy massacre and convicted of war crimes. The newspaper article about him was written after he took command of the SS Division Totenkopf, at a time when he had already received the Oak Leaves, but not yet the Swords. It consists of a short biography and praise for his role as commander of the division after the death of its former leader, SS-Obergruppenführer Theodor Eicke. The article was written by SS war reporter Willi Dißmann.
