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.

A Hamburg America Line "Deutschland" Tally Ribbon

Black rayon with machine-woven gold-coloured celleon threading, inscribed "DEUTSCHLAND", flanked by the red, white and gold embroidered Nazi flag at the left and the blue, white and gold embroidered Hamburg America Line (Hamburg-Amerikanische Packetfahrt-Actien-Gesellschaft ' HAPAG) flag at the right, 32 mm x 910 mm, tape residue present beside the Nazi flag and near the right end, extremely fine. Footnote: The Hamburg America Line (Hamburg-Amerikanische Packetfahrt-Actien-Gesellschaft = HAPAG) was a transatlantic shipping enterprise established in Hamburg, Germany, in 1847. Among the founders were prominent citizens such as Albert Ballin (Director General), Adolph Godeffroy, Ferdinand Laeisz, Carl Woermann, August Bolten and others, and its main financial backers were Berenberg Bank and H. J. Merck & Co. It soon developed into the largest German, and at times the world's largest, shipping company, serving the market created by the German immigration to the United States and later immigration from Eastern Europe. In 1900, 1901 and 1903 its liner Deutschland won the Blue Riband, taking the prize from the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse. The Hamburg America Line lost almost the entirety of its fleet twice, as a result of both the First and Second World Wars. On September 1, 1970, after 123 years of independent existence, HAPAG merged with the Bremen-based North German Lloyd, to form Hapag-Lloyd AG.
