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.

A Rare Army Afrika Korps Issue German Cross in Gold by Juncker

Weighing 10.2 grams, with a width of 71mm and a height of 71mm, constructed of several elements such as silver, red, and black threading, as well as wiring. The gold wreath is in stamped tombac sheet metal and demonstrates the typical die flaw on the top of the "9" demonstrating a Juncker production. The 13 notches at the bottom of the shield are a further indication of Juncker. The reverse is covered in the typical thin, black paper as standard to this award. Importantly, the backing of the cross as well as the thread for the inner star is dark olive. This type of colour was used by the Army in Africa, as well as in other areas such as Southern Russia. This olive coloured backing should not be confused with the so call khaki-brown colour backing with was in use by the Luftwaffe in Africa. Near mint. This award is accompanied by an extensive COA by Dietrich Maerz.
