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:

A Third Reich Period Reichsluftschutzbund (RLB) Stickpin

A German Air Protection Federation (RLB) stickpin; in silvered bronze and blue enamels; 49 mm knurled pin; maker marked “August Enders A.G, Oberramende” and “Ges. Gesch” on reverse; measuring 24 mm x 24 mm; near extremely fine condition.

Footnote: The RLB was established by the Reich Air Ministry in April 1923, from the existing German Protection League (Deutches Luftschutzverband) by Hermann Goring's declaration that the RLB was to be the official air raid protection service of the state. The primary mission assigned to the RLB was to protect the cities and population from hostile attacks. The group was also charged with training the civilian population in civil defence subjects and air raid precautions. With the exception of a small cadre of career officers, the remainder of the force was composed of volunteers.
