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 collection of paper money from different POW camps, measuring between 90x53mm and 135x70mm, two in very fine condition with folding creases, three in mint condition, all others in extremely fine to near mint condition. Two notes, 1 and 2 Mark, from the Officers POW camp in Hannoversch Münden (Lower Saxony, central Germany). They are dated to March 1, 1916, and stamped “ungültig” (void). Contrary to all the other notes, these day are made from cloth, not paper. A 50 Pfennig note from the POW camp Müncheberg (eastern Germany), a camp for enlisted men. It states that only POWs can use this currency, and that it is not allowed to give them actual money for it. Three notes, 50 Pfennig, 1 Mark, and 5 Mark, from the POW camp Golzern (Mulde) (Saxony, eastern Germany). They state that prisoners who are released or transferred to a different camp can exchange the note for actual money. All are dated to February 1, 1916. A 2 Mark note from the POW camp Senne (Paderborn, western Germany) for enlisted men. It is dated to April 1, 1917, and states that prisoners who are released or transferred to a different camp can exchange the note for actual money. It is stamped “ungültig” (void). A 2 Kronen note from the Imperial Austrian POW camp Aschach (upper Austria). It housed mainly Serbs, Italians, and Russians. A 1 Lire note from Italian POW camp no. 33.
