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.

Germany, Third Reich. A 1938 Pre-War Letter to Porsche AG on the Development of German Made Auto Components

Correspondence Letter from Celluloid-Verkaufs-Gesellschaft M.B.H. (Celluloid Sales Company Inc.) to Firma Dr. ing. h.c. F. Porsche K.G. (Porsche AG), 18 pages, 21 x 29.7 cm, unilateral Date of item: Oct. 25th, 1938; Condition: Overall good condition, first pages have light to intermediate marks/yellowing which don’t impair legibility; fine. Footnote: A correspondence letter from the Celluloid-Verkaufs-Gesellschaft M.B.H. (Celluloid Sales Company Inc.) to Firma Dr. ing. H.c. F. Porsche K.G. (Porsche AG) about synthetic car windows made from “Astralon”. This material, trademarked and approval pending, is referred to as a “pure German material” meaning it doesn’t need any components that have to be imported. Specifics and details (chemical, physical, electrical, optical, and mechanical) for “Astralon” are given in an attempt to convince Porsche to use this new material for their cars. This is an answering letter to Porsche AG, that had previously indicated that the material lacks official approval.
