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:

Canada, CEF. A First War Mark II Helmet

British-made, in non-magnetic steel, with greenish-brown paint on the exterior and interior. The protective edge of the helmet in a magnetic steel. It is stamped with the manufacturer's mark beside the steel batch number "194" on the underside of the helmet at the rear, however, the manufacturer's mark is obscured by the intensity of the paint job. Inside, there is a steel-framed cradle supporting a blackened canvas liner with underlying burlap support and leather backer, along with a mesh support with drawstring, backed by a padded liner in the dome. The leather chinstrap remains relatively supple with only mild crazing, the magnetic metal buckle exhibiting surface rust, while the hardware on both sides also remains intact, each bracket held in place by dual prongs. The helmet measures 295 mm in width x 308 mm in length x 120 mm in height, exhibiting contact marks and bubbling on the exterior, with surface rust and paint wear evident on both the exterior and the interior. As worn.
