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, SS. A Waffen-SS Geologist Battalion Identification Tag

A Second War German SS-Wehrgeologenbataillon identification tag; in zink; stamped “11 (mot) SS-Wehr. Geo. Batl. 500” on both sides of the triple slotted disc; three drill holes; measuring 71 mm x 50 mm; very fine condition.

Footnote: Heinrich Himmler ordered the creation of the 500 (mot) SS Geologist Bataillon in 1941. It was established in 1942 in Hamburg-Langerhorn, half was sent to Italy in the Reggio Emilia in summer of 1943, with the rest being sent to the Breton region in France in March 1944. Little is known about their actual tasks, although some historians believe their primary task was to evaluate soil condition for a variety of purposes, whether for military, architectural, or agricultural use. Little is known about its fate.
