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.

Buyer's Premium

All bids are subject to a Buyer's Premium which is in addition to the placed successful bid. The following rate of Buyer's Premium will be added to the Hammer Price of each Lot that you purchase:

Germany. A Fighting Knife, c.1940

Measuring 272 mm long with the scabbard on, featuring a 152 mm long nickel-plated steel blade, with a slightly sharpened edge and a semi-pointy tip. The blade is un-etched, but is maker marked with the logo of “Anton Wingen, Solingen” on the reverse, with light marks common to extraction and return to the scabbard. The thick blackened leather washer is at the cross-guard is intact but sits loosely on the cross-guard. The cross-guard consists of a rounded finger guard, with black bakelite grip plates on either side of the grip. The grips are held in place via two rivets, with small gaps between the bakelite and the core of the grip. The pommel is in the shape of an eagle, with a protruding non-functional button on one of the sides, and missing an internal guide-rail normally observed on a bayonet. The scabbard is constructed of black painted steel (magnetic), depicting moderate wear and some loss of finish, with a coated metal spring on the interior of the scabbard that holds the knife in place once returned to the scabbard. The leather scabbard hanger is constructed of brown leather. In good condition.
