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, Wehrmacht. A Slovakian Schnelle Division Badge

(Slowakische Schnelle-Division Abzeichen). Constructed of silvered bronze, the obverse consisting of a circular laurel leaf wreath, topped by a Slovak national eagle, above initials “RD” for Rýchla Divízia (Rapid Division) and a truck bearing raised dates “1941-1942”, affixed with stitching to a brown leather fob, unmarked, the badge measuring 45 mm (w) x 53 mm (h), with some oxidation and loss of finish evident, in overall very fine condition.

Footnote: In 1939, the Slovak Republic committed a small, partially-motorized brigade of approximately 3,500 troops to participate in the German invasion of Poland. Operating under German Wehrmacht command, the unit grew into a much larger rapid mobile force of approximately 10,000 troops, seeing extensive action on the Eastern Front between 1941 and 1943.
