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. A LKpW101 Flying Helmet

Exterior fabricated from dark brown leather, with housings for the telephone receivers stitched in place on both sides. The front has two leather chinstraps, each with sixteen holes for length adjustment, stitched in place on either side and when secured in place via the thin leather strap and fed through the single-pronged buckles sewn in place on either side, ensures a snug fit at the chin. There are clips stitched in place on either side that would have held the elasticized strap designed to secure the oxygen mask in place, along with a single leather tab housing a light brown plastic button protruding from a slot beside each of the clips, towards the rear of the helmet. The rear has two vertical straps with snap closures stitched in place on either side of the central wide panel, the panel with a rectangular-shaped clip to house the missing elasticized strap, along with a hole at the bottom where the missing microphone strap once inserted into the helmet. The interior is lined in supple sheepskin, with a leather patch stitched in place at the brow, along with extensive padding around the ears.
