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 Tank Badge, Bronze Grade, Unknown Maker I, Type A - “So Called Juncker”

(Panzerkampfabzeichen in Bronze). Oval shaped bronzed feinzink; the obverse with a border of oak leaves with a tie at the base and a Panzerkampfwagen IV superimposed in the centre on grassy ground, with its left tank track extending over the edge of the badge; the reverse plain with a vertical needle style pin, a barrel hinge, and a squared catch; an unmarked example often incorrectly referred to as the “So Called Juncker” by collectors; measuring 42.63 mm (w) x 60.78 mm (h); weighing 27.7 grams; in overall better than extremely fine condition.

Footnote: Phillippe de Bock refers to this type of Tank Badge as being made by the Unknown Maker I, Type A, in his book “The German Panzer Assault Badge of World War II”. This badge is often referred to as the “So Called Juncker” due to similar hardware used by Juncker on the reverse of the badge. The author states that this is wrong, however. The actual maker of this badge remains a mystery to collectors.
