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, NSDAP. A Golden Party Badge Awarded to Otto Rick, by Deschler & Sohn

(Goldenes Ehrenzeichen der NSDAP). A well-preserved example of a NSDAP Golden Party badge constructed of gilded tombac and multi-coloured enamels. The obverse presents with a central black mobile swastika within a bed of white enamels, with a red enameled edge inscribed “NATIONAL-SOZIALISTISCHE D.A.P.” (“National Socialist German Workers’ Party”). The reverse presents with a catch for a horizontal pinback, an inscription of “GES. GESCH.” (“Legally Protected”), a maker’s mark of “Deschler & Sohn, München”, and NSDAP member number “80644” for Otto Rick. The badge measures 30.46 mm in diameter and weighs 13.2 grams. Minor scratching of the enamels is evident and the pinback is missing, but the badge is in an otherwise near extremely fine condition.

Footnote: Recipient Otto Rick was born in Pagutken, West Prussia (now Pogodki, Poland) on December 26, 1897, and joined the NSDAP on April 1, 1928. He was awarded the Golden Party Badge on April 10, 1934 while an office worker in Berlin and serving in the National Air Raid Protection League (Reichsluftschutzbund).
