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.

Germany, Heer. The Soldbuch Of Unteroffizier Otto Behr

The Soldbuch is dated to Berlin on September 19, 1943. It contains a rather unusual entry on the first page underneath the photo. It states that Behr no longer wears a moustache, is dated to Berlin on March 7, 1944, and signed by a Major, the name is illegible. The Soldbuch measures 105 (w) x145 (h) mm, with some scuffing and creasing and light damage to the spine, remains better than fine.

Footnote: Otto Behr was born on April 1, 1899 in Murchin near Greifswald (northeast Germany). He must have served in the First War, because he was awarded a Hindenburg Cross on January 13, 1936. During the Second War, Behr served in Landesschützen (Homeland Militia) Battalion 311 and Wachregiment (Guard Regiment) Großdeutschland. He was promoted to Gefreiter (Lance Corporal) on December 1, 1943, and to Obergefreiter (Corporal) on April 1, 1944. Between October 21, 1944 and January 13, 1945 Behr was hospitalised with a metabolic disease, suffering from an ulcer. After being released from hospital, he was deemed no longer fit for war service, but only for work service. On February 1, 1945 he was promoted to Unteroffizier (NCO).
