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.

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, NSFK. An Early Officer’s Kepi, by Bruno Zins of Berlin

(Nationalsozialistisches Fliegerkorps Offizierkepi). Of multi-piece construction, fabricated with reinforced sidewalls with a visor towards, all in grey herringbone twill wool, including the sidewalls and the circular “coffee can” style top. Along the sidewalls and along the crown of the cap is decorated with silver aluminum embroidered tresse to signify Officer rank. The front is decorated with a well-detailed silvered aluminum eagle insignia on the peak. There are ventilation holes with black reinforcing eyelets on either side. The black finished leather chinstrap rests upon the protruding visor, composed of two pieces - the two ends are held together via a rectangular metal loop in the centre, with each strap having its own adjustable buckle, held in place by a black magnetic button. The underside of the visor is also in grey twill wool, while the sweatband is constructed of a brownish-orange synthetic leather, the ends pinned together on the right side of the cap. The interior of the sidewall of the kepi is lined in a grey coloured linen, with a clear vinyl maker’s diamond sewn to the crown, with a maker’s mark reading “Deutsche Handwerksarbeit - Bruno Zins Berlin, No18”. It measures 185 mm (w) x 230 mm (h), with visible wear to the sweatband, but with the exterior well preserved, in overall extremely fine condition.
