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:

Germany, Wehrmacht. A Rare 1939 Iron Cross I Class, Schinkel-Style by Wilhelm Deumer

(Eisernes Kreuz 1939 I. Klasse). Reinstituted 1 September 1939. (1939-1945). Constructed of iron and silver, consisting of a Cross Pattée with a blackened magnetic iron core within a ribbed silver frame, the obverse with a central mobile swastika, the six o’clock arm with a reinstitution date of “1939”, the reverse with a crimped wraparound hinge and vertical pinback meeting a round wire catch, unmarked but with the physical characteristics of manufacture by Wilhelm Deumer, measuring 43.33 mm (w) x 43.14 mm (h), weighing 14.4 grams, a rare Schinkel-style cross in extremely fine condition.

Footnote: The example offered has been attributed to the Deumer firm due to identical frames found on LDO-marked, Imperial-style crosses bearing the company’s code. It is discussed on page 89 of “The Iron Cross I Class”, 2010, by Dietrich Maerz.
