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, Forstschutz. A Forestry Protection M43 Field Cap

(Forstschutz Einheitsfeldmütze). This is an extremely well-preserved Forstschutz (Forestry Protection) M43 field cap, constructed of smooth field-grey wool. The cap features fold-down panels providing neck protection which, when not to use, are secured to the cap by two dark green bakelite buttons on the left flap meeting reinforced buttonholes on the right flap. Pinned into the peak of the cap is a Reichsadler-style German national eagle clutching a wreathed mobile swastika, constructed of silvered bronze and measuring 55 cm (w) x 35 mm (h). Underneath the eagle sits a tri-colour cockade with a red felt centerpiece, measuring 22 mm in diameter. The cap features a protruding visor with cardboard reinforcement, with the obverse constructed of forest green wool, bands of which also adorn the top and bottom of the cap and panels. The interior features a 40 mm-wide brown leather sweatband securely held in place by a row of machine stitching. The interior also features a complete, padded, grey rayon liner stitched in a diamond pattern. The cap is unmarked and measures 155 mm (w) x 283 mm (l) x 135 mm (h). The visor reinforcement has a single crack, and there is some soiling evident to the sweatband, but the cap is in an otherwise extremely fine condition.
