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, Heer. A Heer (Army) Etched Dress Bayonet by F.W. Höller

(Heer Bajonett). Measuring 350 mm with the scabbard on, and 320 mm without, this bayonet features a 95 mm-long nickel-plated magnetic steel blade with a sharpened edge and a pointed tip. The obverse blade is acid-engraved "Zur Erinnerung an meine Dienstzeit" (“In Memory of My Service Period”) inside a banner flanked on both sides by oak leaf branches and Wehrmacht- (Armed Forces) style German national eagles clutching mobile swastikas. The blade's obverse ricasso is clearly maker marked “”F.W. Höller, Solingen”, along with the company’s thermometer logo. It presents with a sharpened tip and semi-sharpened edge. The blade is met at the upper crossguard by a blackened leather washer fitting securely at the base. The crossguard features a hooked quillon, while both plates of the pebbled black synthetic grip are firmly held in place by two magnetic metal rivets and central pins. The slot retains most of its original red felt insert, indicative of the bayonet’s ceremonial use. Accompanied by its nickel-plated, blackened magnetic metal scabbard, complete with ball finial. Attached is a black leather frog, unmarked, with heavy, durable, quality stitching. Tied to the accompanying belt loop is an off-white portepee which completes with a partially red and golden-yellow acorn-style decoration. The blade demonstrates minor running marks, while some scratching to the remaining materials is evident, but the bayonet is in an otherwise near extremely fine condition.
