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.

Italy, Kingdom. A Voluntary Militia for National Security (MSVN) “Blackshirts” Fez

This is an extremely well preserved Voluntary Militia for National Security (Milizia Volontaria per la Sicurezza Nazionale) member’s fez, constructed of fine black doeskin wool. The top of the fez bears a black threaded tassel that hangs over the sides. The fez is surrounded by a fold-down panel that is adorned with a band of woven black machine-embroidered ribbon. A rolled, black threaded cord is stitched to the front and rear, and hangs over the side of the fez. The front bears a fasces insignia constructed of machine-embroidered gold bullion wire on a black wool background. The fez is unmarked and measures approximately 195 mm in diameter, with a height of 90 mm. While minor material fatigue is evident, the fez is in an otherwise extremely fine condition.
