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. An Etched Army Dress Bayonet by Carl Eickhorn

(Wehrmacht Bajonett). Measuring 365 mm with the scabbard on, this bayonet features a 200 mm-long nickel-plated magnetic steel blade with a sharpened edge and a pointed tip. The blade is engraved "Zur Erinnerung an meine Dienstzeit" (“In Memory of My Service Period”) inside a ribbon banner on the obverse of the blade, flanked on both sides by Wehrmacht- (Armed Forces) style German national eagles clutching mobile swastikas, while the ribbon banner is framed by clusters of oak leaves. The blade's reverse ricasso is clearly maker marked “Eickhorn, Solingen”, along with the company's insignia of a squirrel clutching a sword. The blade is met at the upper crossguard by a blackened leather washer fitting securely at the base. Crossguard with hooked quillon and, while both plates of the pebbled black synthetic grip are firmly held in place by two magnetic metal rivets and central pins. Accompanied by its nickel-plated, blackened magnetic metal scabbard, complete with frog stud and ball finial, exhibiting age-appropriate surface wear. Attached is the supple dark brown leather frog, unmarked, with heavy, durable, quality stitching, measuring 219 mm in length. There is some chipping and tarnishing of the nickel plating, and the scabbard has lost most of its original black paint, but the bayonet is in an otherwise near extremely fine condition.
