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.

A First War 4th Canadian Mounted Rifles Regiment Helmet

British-made, steel, non-magnetic, with a raw edge, in greenish-blue with a smooth finish, with a browning copper 4th Canadian Mounted Rifles Regiment Overseas cap badge affixed to the front. Inside, steel-framed cradle supporting a blackened canvas liner with underlying burlap support and leather backer, mesh support with drawstring, padded liner in the dome, without maker stampings on the steel. The leather chinstrap has been severed at the centrepoint, the left side remaining intact, the right side having been lost to time, while the hardware on both sides also remains intact. Helmet measures 282 mm x 298 mm x 120 mm, exhibiting a few moderate dents on top, surface rust and paint chipping overall, the padded liner in the dome chattered, the canvas liner age soiled but remaining intact, as worn. Footnote: The 4th Mounted Rifle Battalion was organized on March 15, 1915, in Toronto, Ontario. It served in France and Holland and was disbanded on November 15, 1920. They were initially issued with badges with "4 C.M.R. OVERSEAS" (4th Canadian Mounted Rifles), which were later altered to "4 C.M.R.R. OVERSEAS" (4th Canadian Mounted Rifles Regiment). (C:4)
