High Bid:	$2,285.00
A max bid is the highest amount you are willing to pay for an auction item. In response to other bids, the auction system will automatically increase your bid in the smallest increment possible (up to your max bid amount) in order to maintain your lead position. To get a max bid you simply enter the maximum amount you are willing to pay into the bid form just as you would any other bid. If your bid is more than one bidding increment above the current high bid you will get a max bid unless another bidder has a max bid in place that is higher than the amount you enter. At the end of the auction, the winning bidder pays only the lowest winning bid possible. That means that you can win an auction item at a price less than your max bid amount. Your max bid amount is kept confidential from other bidders. You can lower or delete a max bid by entering a lower amount. Note: After watching hundreds of auctions and talking to thousands of bidders, we think using max bids in your bidding strategy works best for most people. It eliminates some of the pressure and reduces the risk of "sniping", where other bidders slip in slightly higher bids in the last seconds of bidding. ' > Your Max Bid:	NA

Bid History (68 bids)

Peter Charles Varlé (also known as Charles Peter Varlé (c. 1770 - 1835)) was a French draughtsman, cartographer, and engineer active in the United States. He was born in Toulouse in southern France and left France for Hispaniola (Santo Domingo) at the beginning of the French Revolution. He lived on Hispaniola and worked as an engineer until 1794, when he was forced to flee by the uprising of 1794. He moved to the United States and published a renowned plan of Philadelphia in 1796, along with a second edition in 1802. Varlé lived in Maine in 1795, and later in Massachusetts. He again lived in Philadelphia from 1797-98, and then moved to Baltimore, where he spent the rest of his days, except for time spent in Philadelphia in 1802.

Charles Varlé published a number of other maps as well as books, the former including Baltimore (1833) as well as a map of Frederick, Berkeley & Jefferson Counties in Virginia (1810), and one of North America (1834). He also issued works on typhus and the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal.
