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, Heer. An M40 EM/NCO’s Tropical Field Cap

(Heer Afrikamütze). A very well-preserved Heer EM/NCO’s tropical field cap, constructed of khaki-coloured cotton twill. The cap is fully surrounded by a decorative side panel, held in place by a row of machine stitching. It is flanked on each side by dual ventilation holes, reinforced with zink eyelets. Stitched into the peak is an insignia in the form of a silver-grey machine-embroidered Wehrmacht eagle clutching a wreathed mobile swastika, set on a light-brown background and measuring 64 mm (w) x 26 mm (h). Beneath the eagle is a tri-colour machine-embroidered cockade, set on a light brown diamond, measuring 30 mm (w) x 30 mm (h) overall. The exterior features are completed with a protruding cardboard-reinforced visor. The interior has a khaki-coloured sweatband with an oil cloth base. A complete red cotton interior liner is stamped with a black ink size mark of “56” and a manufacturer code of “0/0843/003”. The cap measures approximately 175 mm (w) x 260 mm (l) x 120 mm (h). Age-appropriate material fatigue is evident throughout, but the cap is free of evident faults and is in an overall near extremely fine condition.
