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.

Germany, Luftwaffe. A Crete Campaign Commemorative Goblet, Named to Major Egon Liebach, by Wilhelm Binder

(Luftlandeschlacht um Kreta Erinnerungspokal). Constructed of silver, the exterior bearing a stamped Fallshirmjäger-style eagle inside of an oval oak leaf wreath, topped by a Wehrmacht-style German national eagle clutching a wreathed mobile swastika and above an inscription of “KRETA 1941”, the base with an etched inscription of “FALLSCH. PI. BATL. 7 MAJOR LIEBACH”, with a maker’s mark of the firm of Wilhelm T. Binder, a silver content mark of “835”, a crescent moon and crown, and a serial number of “75756”, measuring 120 mm (w) x 170 mm (h), with tarnishing and a dent to the stem evident, otherwise in better than very fine condition.

Footnote: Major Egon Liebach served with Fallschirm-Pionier-Battaillon 7 and participated in the Battle of Crete, receiving the German Cross in Gold on 14 February 1942. He was later placed in command of Fallschirmjäger-Regiment 6 and participated in combat in Italy and Normandy.
