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, Wehrmacht. A Wehrpaß Belonging to Gefreiter Kurt Spies

(Wehrpaß). A Wehrpaß, measuring 105 mm (w) x 148 mm (h), issued 6 November 1940, constructed of a field-grey card stock binding with 52 interior pages, with minor, age-appropriate fatigue evident, in near extremely fine condition.

Footnote: Kurt Spies was born 16 July 1922 in Klafeld, Siegen-Arnsberg, Germany. The son of a machinist, Otto Spies, and a housewife, Rosa (Göbel), he was employed as a carpenter, and was a bachelor and a Lutheran upon enlisting in the Wehrmacht. A document in the Wehrpaß indicates that Spies was engaged in combat on the Eastern Front from 23 July 1942 until 11 November 1942, and was awarded the Infantry Assault Badge for his actions on 7 December 1942.
