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 Wartime Italian Propaganda Postcard by Gino Boccasile

A postcard, measuring 105x150mm, near mint condition. It shows a drawing of three soldiers. Behind them is the Italian word for “Win!”. Below it says: “For the new social order, for civilization.” It is a postcard for the armed forces, and it is tax free for Italy and its colonies.

Footnote:

The picture was drawn by illustrator Gino Boccasile (1901–1952). Early in life, he lost his left eye, but nevertheless became a successful artist. Boccasile was a supporter of Mussolini and the fascist idea. He drew propaganda material for the state and for the Italian SS Division, which he joined.
