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.

A full length, unaltered, Kreuze Köln Mützenband/Cap tally; constructed of golden machine embroidery on a black rayon backer; measuring 148.5 cm x 3.1 cm; in fine condition.

Footnote: The Cruiser Cologne was a light cruiser that served as part of the Reichsmarine, and later in the Kriegsmarine. She was commissioned into the Reichsmarine in January 1930, armed with a battery of nine 15 cm guns in 3 triple turrets. After the outbreak of the second war in 1939, she conducted several tours in the North Sea, returning to Norway in 1942 to be refitted. She returned to Germany in early 1945, where she was sunk by American bombers.
