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

A Wartime Picture Postcard Signed by Fighter Ace Major Helmut Wick

Measuring 9 x 14 cm; signed in blue ink. The back of the card identifies the photographer as Photo-Hoffmann, Munich. It also states that reprinting is forbidden: “Nachdruck verboten”. Extremely fine.

Footnote: Helmut Paul Emil Wick (1915–1940) was a fighter ace who flew combat missions in France and Britain. He was promoted to Major and Geschwaderkommodore in October 1940, at the time the youngest to ever hold that position. He was also the leading fighter ace with 56 confirmed aerial victories. He received the Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross in August 1940, earning the Oak Leaves in October 1940. He was only the 4th recipient of this award, the highest award for bravery at the time.
