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.

Deutsches Rotes Kreuz (DKR) Officer’s Dagger; measuring 383 mm with the scabbard on, this dagger features a diamond shaped, unmarked, 249 mm nickel-plated magnetic steel blade, with unsharpened edges, having a semi-sharp tip, with only some oxidation marks and light wear from extraction and return to the scabbard, with natural shine and scattered surface wear The leather washer at the crossguard junction remains intact. The obverse of the crossguard features a medallion with a DRK eagle, with a swastika on its chest, clutching a red cross insignia. The swastika and eagle on the obverse of the crossguard medallion retains much of its guilt with only some wear on the swastika.The steel based, nickel-silver plated scabbard has a pebbled design, with two attachment points for dagger hangers, and exhibits some light spotting with moderate silver wear, with both throat retaining screws intact. The zinc based, nickel-silver plated crossguard and pommel are both in excellent condition, as well as the pommel screw cap, all of which exhibit only slight wear marks. The darker pumpkin-coloured celluloid grip is well preserved. Dagger pommel is slightly loose, but overall near extremely fine condition.
