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 South African M1965 Air Force Non-Commissioned Officer's Dress Dagger

A South African M1965 Air Force Non-Commissioned Officer's Dress Dagger - measures 465 mm, with the scabbard on, featuring a 320 mm nickel-plated steel blade, magnetic, with unsharpened edges and having a semi-sharp tip. The blade's ricasso is unmarked, the blade with ornate floral etchings on both sides. It retains its crossgraining, with faint scratches overall, common to extraction and return to the scabbard, and a natural shine, with scattered surface wear, rating better than very fine. The far ends of the red felt washer at the crossguard junction have been lost to time but the piece that wraps around the blade remains. Crossguard with a detailed spread-winged brass Air Force eagle, resting upon a four-sided frame, its talons clutching the frame below, exhibiting green oxidation, surface wear and contact marks from active use. Dark yellow-coloured celluloid grip exhibits crazing but is free of chipping, the dagger finished with a flat-ended brass pommel, measuring 448 mm in length. The scabbard is plain in design, with a ball finial and two dagger hanger rings, the scabbard measuring 335 mm in length, free of dents but has experienced contact marks and surface wear from active use. Very fine.
