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 First War Full-Length Control Column of a Sopwith Camel Biplane

This is a first war British “Joy Stick” of a Sopwith Camel biplane, consisting of a wrapped inverted spade-shaped grip, attached to an aluminum column via two nuts with bolts. Within the grip section are two spoon-shaped levers to activate its two synchronized 0.303 inch Vickers machine guns. The tube is hollow, allowing the steel wires from the triggers to pass to the synchronization gear of the machine gun. The grips exhibit clear and obvious period wear patterns, as do the trigger points. Extremely scarce. (C:45)
