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.

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:

Canada. A Royal Canadian Air Force No. 10 Bombing and Gunnery School Banner, c.1941

Fabricated from white rayon, navy blue brushed felt insignia of the Royal Canadian Air Force above the two line inscription "No. 10 B&G SCHOOL / MOUNT PLEASANT" printed in place at either end of the banner, head-to-head, 40 mm long alternating white and navy blue fringe sewn in place along the width of the banner at either end, measuring 420 mm (w) x 1,020 mm (h), light soiling evident in one corner, near extremely fine.

Footnote: The Bombing and Gunnery School (B&GS) offered instruction in the techniques of bomb aiming and aerial machine gunnery to Air Observers, Bomb Aimers, and Wireless Air Gunners. These schools required large areas to accommodate their bombing and gunnery ranges, and were often located near water. The Avro Anson, Fairey Battle, Bristol Bolingbroke, and Westland Lysander were the standard aircraft used at B&GS schools. RCAF Station Mount Pleasant was a Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) station in Mount Pleasant, Prince Edward Island. The aerodrome opened during the Second World War in 1940, under the auspices of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP). It was intended to serve as a relief landing field for No. 9 Service Flying Training School, which was located at nearby RCAF Station Summerside. In September 1943, RCAF Station Mount Pleasant evolved from a relief field to a full training facility, when it began hosting No. 10 Bombing and Gunnery School (B&GS). Aircraft used for this training include the Avro Anson, Fairey Battle, Bristol Bolingbroke and Westland Lysander. No. 10 B&GS ceased operation in June 1945. The airfield was used as a storage depot for a short time before being decommissioned by the RCAF in 1947. Two of its runways remain in use by members of the Experimental Aircraft Association.
