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.

Japan, Imperial Navy. A Captain Dress Coat, c.1940

A Second War Imperial Japanese Navy coat constructed of black wool with a complete cotton-blend interior lining. The cuffs of both arms bear sleeve insignias constructed of gold bullion representing the rank of Captain in the Imperial Japanese Navy. Down each breast lays six gilded bronze buttons beside six reinforced buttonholes, allowing the wearer to close the coat on either side. All buttons on the coat are engraved with a fouled anchor and cherry blossom. The lower reverse has a 470 mm vertical slit, around which is set four gilded bronze buttons. The interior of the tunic is fully lined by a black cotton fabric, transitioning into a pinstripe design through the arms. Both interior breasts bear two flap pockets with the flap bearing a reinforced buttonhole meeting a black, bakelite button. The label at the back of the collar reads “Yamashiroya Tokio” and rests above a black diamond-shaped patch containing Japanese writing in gold embroidery. The coat measures approximately 400 mm across the shoulders, with an arm length of 500 mm and a total body length of 980 mm. The sleeve insignia has detached in a few spots, otherwise the coat is in a better than extremely fine condition.
