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:

An Absolutely Mint SS Streifendienst/Patrol Service Gorget by Wilhelm Schröder & Co.

A mint and extremely desirable SS Streifendienst gorget crafted out of nickel-silver with a frosted silver center medallion on the obverse bearing SS runes on a black painted surface . The reverse features a dark navy wool backer, with an attachment loop for the chain, a clip marked “RZM 140 SS” (likely M5/140 - Wilhelm Schröder & Co. Lüdenscheid”) and a receiver for the chain. The gorget measures 208 mm x 98 mm, and the chain measures 600 mm; in mint and unworn condition with only minor natural oxidation on the center medallion from age.

Footnote: The purpose of the SS Steifendiest patrol units was to ensure that SS behaved themselves, were in proper uniform, and were not seen in the streets in their uniforms after midnight. Patrols consisted of two-three men under the command of a senior non-commissioned officer.
