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:

United States. A Large First War Victory Liberty Loan Poster

United States; Poster illustrates the Greek goddess of war and wisdom, Athena, wearing a Corinthian helmet and fronted by a large downward-pointing sword at the far left, a male figure prone at her feet, a bag emitting coins to the man's left, factories in the background at the far right, listing famous and pivotal battles from the Great War, along with various place names, the last six of which are partially obscured by the the two figures and the bag of coins, inscribed in stacked text "REMEMBER / ARGONNE / CHATEAU-THIERRY / ST. MIHIEL / BELLEAU-WOOD / CANTIGNY / SOISSONS / VESLE / C[?]RGES / [?]ISMES / [?]LGONNE / [?]EPREY / [?]DY / [?]UN / AND / INVEST", artist marked "J.M.H." (James Monroe Hewlett, 1868-1941) to the right of the coins, inscribed "VICTORY LIBERTY LOAN'S LIBERTY LOAN COMMITTEE" in a box at the lower left, coded "19-C" at the bottom left and lithographer marked "SACKETT & WILHELMS CORP. N.Y." at the bottom right, printed in black ink on an off-white paper stock, 510 mm x 760 mm, exhibiting scattered tears and light soiling, near extremely fine.

Footnote: This poster was printed for the Victory Liberty Loan, which was the fifth and final Liberty Loan and was sponsored by the Women's Liberty Loan Committee. The goddess Athena was likely chosen for the poster, as she was an icon for women in the ancient world, highly thought of and representative of modern women of the time, making her an appropriate choice for their message. The poster's designer and artist, James Monroe Hewlett, was a well-known architect and muralist.
