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.

A Full Length Torpedoboot Albatros Cap Tally

This is a well preserved Torpedoboat Albatros Mützenband/cap tally; constructed of golden embroidery on a black rayon backer; measuring 1393 mm x 32 mm; soiled from use but overall near very fine condition.

Footnote: The Albatros entered service in the Reichsmarine on May 15, 1928. During the Second War, the Albatros served as part of the 5th Torpedo Boat Flotilla as of September 3, 1939 during the North Sea operations. During battle near Oslo, the Albatros sank the Norwegian Pol III on April 9, 1940, rendering the enemy boat unmanouverable. The next day Norwegian coastal batteries bombarded the Albatros at Bolaerne in Oslofjord, causing her to accidentally run aground, where she broke into two pieces. She is not located at 59 ° 5 '40 "N, 10 ° 47' 30" O at a depth of 40 meters.
