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.

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, Reichsbahn. A Named Bahnhofsvorsteher/Fahrdienstleiter Visor Cap, by Hans Eichmüller

(Reichsbahn Schirmmütze). A very well-preserved Reichsbahn Bahnhofsvorsteher/Fahrdienstleiter visor cap, constructed of dark blue wool. The cap features bands of red piping fully surrounding the crown, as well as the top and bottom of the cap band. Pinned into the peak is an insignia in the form of a gilded zink Reichsbahn-style German national eagle clutching a wreathed mobile swastika, measuring 38 mm (w) x 28 mm (h). Pinned into the centre of the cap band is a tri-colour cockade constructed of gilded and blued bronze with a red felt centrepiece, measuring 22 mm in diameter. The exterior features complete with a protruding vulcanfibre visor, lacquered black on the obverse. The interior retains a brown leather sweatband measuring 35 mm in width. The interior walls are lined with a light brown cotton, while the crown liner is composed of brown oil cloth. Stitched into the crown is a transparent diamond moisture guard, into which is inserted a maker’s label reading “HANS EICHMÜLLER, SULZBACH”. A handwritten owner’s name of “FRITZ PILHOFER” also appears on the label. The cap measures approximately 235 mm (w) x 265 mm (l) x 145 mm (h). Minor, age-appropriate issue are evident, including some loss of finish to the visor, material fatigue of the wool and leather sweatband, and interior soiling. The cap is in an overall near extremely fine condition.
