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:

An Extremely Fragile and Scarce Pair of First War Imperial German Aviator's Goggles

Germany (Imperial); Lens frame fabricated from a olive green finished magnetic metal, bands of gray cotton stitched in place around the circumference of each lens frame, the edge of which butts the wearer's face and is lined in fur, marked in white ink with the RCMI Museum code "RCMI 1978.5.3" on the bottom edge of both lens frames (having been in their collection since 1978, until 2017), both glass lenses intact, the joining nose piece strap between the lenses in leather, the outer edge of each lens frame housing leather tabs with metal eyelets stitched in place, the goggles without their strap which has been lost to time, 58 mm x 227 mm, light soiling and wear evident on the gray cotton band surrounding the left lens, the 10 mm wide leather nose piece strap torn and barely attaching the two lenses via the remaining 2 mm. A very fragile and decent example.
