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.

Buyer's Premium

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 Set of US Army Air Forces B-8 Goggles, by Polaroid

A well-preserved set of US Army Air Forces B-8 goggles, constructed of a malleable black rubber frame. The interior of the casing is fully lined with a strip of tan-coloured suede to mitigate skin irritation. A shatter-proof, single-piece, transparent orange celluloid lens forms the eyepiece. The goggles retain a woven strap emanating from each side, adjusted with a functional non-ferrous metal buckle, for secure wear. The exterior of the frame bears a raised maker’s mark of “POLAROID”, as well as an inscription of “FLYING GOGGLE A.A.F. TYPE B-8”. They measure 185 mm (w) x 95 mm (h). Some scratching is evident to the lens, with minor material fatigue of the rubber, but the goggles are in an overall near extremely fine condition.
