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, Police. A "Landwacht" Auxiliary Police Visor Cap Eagle

In silvered die-stamped zinc, unmarked, 46.7 mm x 52 mm, pinback, scattered silvering wear, near extremely fine. Footnote: In January 1942, Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler, in his position as Chef der Deutschen Polizei im Reichsministerium des Innern (Chief of the German Police in the National Ministry of the Interior) established the Landwacht (Land Watch/Guards), to be utilized in guarding prisoners of war when on work details outside of the prisons, but within the borders of the Greater German Reich. The Landwacht personnel were outfitted with Gendarmerie (Rural Police) police uniforms with a distinctive identifying armband and a cap badge. The design of the Landwacht cap badge was based on the second pattern police cap badge (circa June 1936 - May 1945), with the addition of an inscribed banner.
