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.

Germany, Heer. A Cavalry Officer’s Visor Cap, by Erel

(Heer Aufklärer Schirmmütze). An extremely well-preserved Heer Cavalry officer’s cap, constructed of field-grey wool. The crown of the cap is fully lined with a band of golden-yellow piping, with two additionals bands of identical piping located at the top and bottom of the cap bands, itself constructed of dark green wool. Pinned into the peak of the cap is an aluminum Wehrmacht eagle clutching a wreathed mobile swastika, measuring 60 mm (w) x 28 mm (h) and with all three reverse attachment prongs intact. Underneath the eagle, the cap band bears an aluminum tri-colour cockade within an oak wreath, measuring 62 mm (w) x 40 mm (h). The cap is flanked on each side by a pebbled magnetic metal button holding in place a decorative chinstrap, constructed of multiple rows of silver aluminum wire and resting upon the visor. The latter is constructed of vulcanfibre and presents with a lacquered black obverse and tan-coloured reverse. The interior has a 45 mm-wide grey leather sweatband securely held in place by machine-stitching. It features a complete pale yellow rayon liner, the crown of which bears a transparent rhomboid moisture guard. The guard overlays a silver maker’s mark inscribed “OFFIZER KLEIDERKASSE, BERLIN” and “EREL SONDERKLASSE, BERLIN”. The cap measures approximately 248 mm (w) x 285 mm (l) x 162 mm (h). It presents free of evident faults and is in an extremely fine condition.
