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:

Measuring 84x140mm, better than very fine condition with light creasing and scuffing of the cover. It is dated to Cologne on September 15, 1890.

Footnote: David Wilhelm Kessler was born on February 9, 1869 in Marburg (central Germany). He learned to become a pastry chef, but then volunteered to join the army for one year on October 1, 1888. He was deployed into the 3rd Company of Hessian Jäger Battalion No. 11, yet was discharged early on February 14, 1889, as he was “dienstunbrauchbar”, unfit for service. There are no details given on Kessler’s condition, but it is stressed that it was not developed or received due to his time of service. Between August 8 and September 16, 1890 Kessler spent six weeks and one day in the fortress prison of Cologne. Again no details about the circumstances are given.
