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 Wehrpaß to Technician Gefreiter Erwin Schneidler

Footnote: Erwin Paul Schneidler was born August 28, 1909 in Emmerstedt (today a part of Helmstedt, Lower Saxony). Before being drafted, he worked in a brick factory. Schneidler was first mustered in late 1939 and deemed fit for service. However, he was not placed in active service yet. This happened in June of 1942 when he was deployed to the Schützen Replacement Company 396. Between September and November, Schneidler served in the 2nd Company of the Technician Replacement/Training Detachment Pirna, and was then redeployed to the 2nd Company of the Technician Detachment 2 (motorized), renamed in early 1944 to 2nd Company of Technician Battalion (motorized) 2. On October 1, 1943 Schneidler was promoted to Oberpionier (Senior Sapper), and on August 1, 1944 to Gefreiter (Lance Corporal). He was exclusively fighting in defensive battles at the Eastern Front. Eventually, Schneidler was captured by enemy forces. The Wehrpaß contains an entry of his POW number, dated to September 1947.
