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, Reichsbahn. A National Railway M43 Field Cap, by Otto Wesely

(Reichsbahn M43 Einheitsfeldmütze). This is an extremely well-preserved Reichsbahn (National Railway) M43 field cap, constructed of dark blue wool. The cap features fold-down side panels providing neck protection which, when not in use, are secured to the cap by two gilded zink buttons on the right flap meeting an equal number of reinforced buttonholes on the left. Both buttons are maker marked on the reverse with the logo of Gebrüder Schneider, Wien. Stitched into the peak of the cap is a rayon patch bearing a machine-embroidered gold German national eagle clutching a wreathed mobile swastika, above a tri-colour cockade, measuring 45 mm (w) x 48 mm (h). The interior features a 30 mm-wide brown leather sweatband securely held in place by a row of machine stitching. A black padded cotton interior liner is stamped at the top with a maker’s mark of “OTTO WESELY, KAPPENFABRIK, WIEN VI”, along with a size of “57”. The cap measures approximately 160 mm (w) x 260 mm (l) x 110 mm (h). With the exception of some cracking and fatigue to the sweatband, the cap is in an extremely fine condition.
