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.

Buyer's Premium

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, Wehrmacht. A Tank Badge, Silver Grade by Unknown Maker

(Panzerkampfabzeichen in Silver). Instituted on 20.12.1939 by Generaloberst Walther von Brauchitsch. (Issued 1939-1945). Constructed of silvered zink, the obverse with a border of oak leaves with a tie at the base and a Panzerkampfwagen IV superimposed in the centre on grassy ground, with its left tank track extending over the edge of the badge, the reverse plain with a vertical needle style pin, ball hinge and a round wire catch, maker marked with “AS” initials inside triangle on reverse, measuring 43.24 (w) x 63.17 mm (h) and weighing 25.4 grams, in near very fine condition.

Footnote: As per Philippe de Bock, “The German Panzer Assault Badge of World War II”, Volume One (2009), page 382, the “AS in Triangle” maker mark is incorrectly attributed to A.D. Schwerdt, who did not manufacture this badge. The identity of this maker remains unknown.
