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:

Germany, Luftwaffe. An Autographed Edition of “Mein Fliegerleben”, by Ernst Udet

(Mein Fliegerleben mit Unterschrift). A rare and extremely well-preserved edition of “Mein Fliegerleben” (“My Flying Life”) by Ernst Udet. It is constructed of a card stock binding with a blue canvas exterior, with the cover bearing the silhouette of a biplane, topped by the title and author’s name in golden-yellow text. An additional author and title appears on the exterior of the spine. The interior content consists of all 194 paginated pages of text and black-and-white images in pristine condition. It was published in 1935 by Deutscher Verlag in Berlin. Importantly, the first interior page bears a clear handwritten signature of Ernst Udet in blue ink, dated 24 March 1941. The book measures 150 mm (w) x 220 mm (l) x 28 mm (h). There is some yellowing and fading of the spine and exterior of the pages, but this rare, dedicated example is in an overall near extremely fine condition.
