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:

Bavaria, Kingdom. A Pilot’s Badge, by Karl Pöllath

(Flugzeugführerabzeichen). Constructed of silver, the obverse consisting of a detailed oval laurel and oak leaf wreath, joined together at the bottom by a bow tie ribbon, topped by a Bavarian royal crown, with a central depiction of a monoplane flying over a rural landscape, the reverse with a barrel hinge and vertical pinback meeting a round wire catch, maker marked “KARL PÖLLATH, SCHROBENHAUSEN”, with a silver content number of “800”, measuring 45.35 mm (w) x 72.95 mm (h), weighing 23.6 grams, in near extremely fine condition.

Footnote: Research conducted by the city archives of Schrobenhausen has confirmed that the firms of Karl Pöllath and Carl Poellath are identical, and that the change in spelling to the latter occurred after 1918.
