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.

WWI Canadian Vimy Photograph Album

WWI Canadian Vimy Photograph Album - Containing 44 Original Photographs - Importantly, the first photo of the lot is that of the initial field grave of Sergeant John William Peter Melvin - who was killed April 7th 1917, likely by enemy bombardment, in the Vimy section while with the 2nd Canadian Railway Troops preparing for the Vimy assult. The remaining 43 Canadian photographs depict scenes in Canada in fresh uniforms, aboard ship heading overseas, training and camping in England, rare scenes at the frontlines. The scenes are both casual and formal. Also included: 1 silk Postcard, 16 French Picture Postcards. Overall a fantastic WWI Canadian album which are becoming quite rare.
