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.

A Wehrpaß to Panzerobergrenadier Oskar Chust, KIA 1942 in Russia

Measuring 105x146mm, near extremely fine condition with scuffing and creasing of the cover. It is dated to Berlin-Charlottenburg on December 2, 1936.

Footnote: Oskar Adolf Chust was born on November 18, 1910 in Graudenz (modern day Grudziądz, northern Poland). Initially he served only between June and September 1933. Only as late as January 1942 was he drafted again, being placed in the Field Replacement Battalion 8. Only three months later Chust apparently fell ill, was wounded, or had an accident. He spent the next month in a Convalescent Company, before briefly being placed in the 3rd Company of Schützen Replacement Battalion (mot.) 8. Chust was then deployed to the 6th Company of Schützen Regiment 8, later renamed Panzer Grenadier Regiment 8. He was promoted to Panzerobergrenadier (Senior Panzer Grenadier) on October 1, 1942. All that is known about his time in the field is that he fought on the Eastern Front. Chust died on December 9, 1942 on a Hauptverbandplatz (main dressing station) in Russia.
