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. An Early Allgemeine-SS EM/NCO’s Belt Buckle, by Overhoff & Cie

(Allgemeine-SS Gürtelschnalle). Constructed of nickel silver, the obverse bearing a central raised SS-style German national eagle clutching a wreathed swastika, within a ribbed ring bearing a raised inscription of “MEINE EHRE HEIßT TREUE” (“MY HONOUR IS LOYALTY”), the reverse with a loop and dual attachment prongs, maker marked “OVERHOFF & CIE, LÜDENSCHEID”, measuring 64 mm (w) x 48 mm (h), minor oxidation and loss of finish is evident, in overall near extremely fine condition.

Footnote: According to “German Belt Buckles 1845-1945: Buckles of the Enlisted Ranks” (Peter Nash, 2003, page 207), the example offered is an early “full title Overhoff” buckle used by the Allgemeine-SS.
