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.

Germany. A Studio Portrait of a Young SS Man in Greatcoat (SS-Standarte “Deutschland”)

Measuring 87x137mm, near very fine condition with light scuffing and several creases. The picture postcard shows a very young SS man wearing a greatcoat. The insignia identify him as a member of the SS Standarte “Deutschland”. An interesting detail is the unusually placed national eagle emblem patch on the left side of the cap.

Footnote: The SS-Standarte “Deutschland” was formed in 1934 as SS-Standarte 2/VT. It was soon renamed SS-Standarte 1/VT. The Standarte received it’s honour name “Deutschland” at the Nuremberg Rally of 1935. It took part in the annexations of Austria and of the Sudetenland, as well as the one of Bohemia and Moravia. It saw action during the attack on Poland. After this campaign it was used to form the SS-Verfügungstruppe, later named “Das Reich”.
