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 Large 1942 American Propaganda Poster: “This is Nazi brutality”

A propaganda poster entitled “This is Nazi brutality”. It measures 720x960mm, near mint condition. The picture was drawn by artist Ben Shahn (1898–1969), showing a handcuffed man with a sack over his head. It is a reaction to the Lidice massacre, during which all men of the Czech village were shot and the women and children sent to concentration camps. Footnote: The massacre was ordered by Hitler and Reichsführer SS Heinrich Himmler as a reprisal for the assassination of Reich Protector of Bohemia and Moravia, Reinhard Heydrich, in late spring of 1942.
