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, Luftwaffe. An Officer’s M43 Tropical Field Cap

(Luftwaffe Fliegermütze). This is a very well-preserved Luftwaffe M43 tropical field cap, constructed of tan-coloured cotton twill. The top of the cap is trimmed with twisted and rolled silver aluminum wire piping, indicating that the cap was upgraded after the owner received a promotion to officer. The cap is flanked on each side by dual ventilation holes with bakelite-reinforced eyelets. The peak bears an insignia in the form of silver-grey, machine-embroidered, Luftwaffe-style German national eagle clutching a mobile swastika, measuring 78 mm (w) x 35 mm (h). Underneath the eagle is a machine-embroidered tri-colour cockade measuring 22 mm in diameter. The cap features a protruding visor with a cardboard reinforcement. The interior is fully lined with an off-white cotton twill liner, with a partially-visible size stamp of “57”. The cap is otherwise unmarked and measures approximately 190 mm (w) x 245 mm (l) x 120 mm (h). Moderate soiling is evident to the exterior, and the cardboard visor reinforcement has been cracked in several place. The cap is in otherwise near very fine condition.
