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, Luftwaffe. An Officer’s Converted Overseas Cap

(Luftwaffe Schiffchen). An extremely well-preserved Luftwaffe Officer’s overseas cap, constructed of dark grey wool. The cap is fully surrounded with fold-down side panels, trimmed along the circumference with a band of silver aluminum wire piping added post-manufacture when the owner evidently received a promotion. The peak bears an insignia in the form of a dark grey wool backer overlaid by a machine-embroidered silver-grey Luftwaffe eagle clutching a mobile swastika. The eagle insignia measures 70 mm (w) x 40 mm (h). Underneath the eagle is a tricolour cockade constructed of multi-coloured machine embroidery and measuring 22 mm in diameter. The interior features a complete olive-drab rayon-blended liner, bearing the remnants of a black ink size stamp which has since been rendered illegible. It is otherwise unmarked and measures 275 mm (l) x 130 mm (h). Minor soiling is evident, but the cap is in an overall extremely fine condition.
