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. A Luftwaffe General’s Visor Cap

An extremely fine quality Luftwaffe General’s visor cap, constructed of Luftwaffe-gray cap tricot (Mützen Trikot), with a fine twill weave (Körperbindung) pattern of parallel running ribs. The cap has a traditional high peak with extremely fine quality gilt aluminum bullion twisted piping along the crown of the cap, as well as above and below the cap band. The cap band itself is constructed of black woven strands in a ribbed formation. The insignia of the cap consists of an extremely fine quality bullion Luftwaffe eagle, and matching bullion winged oak wreath and tri-colour cockade. The eagle is constructed of flat, twisted, and rolled gilt aluminum bullion hand embroidery in the shape of a traditional flying Luftwaffe eagle clutching a mobile swastika. The cockade is equally constructed of flat, twisted and rolled gilt aluminum bullion hand embroidery in the shape of a triple winged oak wreath with a tri-colour cockade, and remains firmly attached to the front of the cap. The visor is constructed of thin vulkanfibre, with a leather trimmed ridge along the brim. It is lacquered with a glossy black finish on the obverse with a green lacquered and checkered underside. The chin cord is constructed of gilt aluminum bullion, and consists of a main cord crafted of multiple thick strands of twisted bullion cords, as well as two sliders constructed of four strands of thin twisted bullion cord, and is attached to either side of the cap via a gilded pebbled metal (magnetic) button. The interior of the cap is lined with a mouse-gray coloured liner, with an unmarked celluloid maker’s diamond stitched into the centre of the interior. On the edge of the cap is a tan-coloured faux leather sweatband. The cap measures 273 mm (l) x 250 mm (w) x 156 mm (h). A gently worn example, displaying nearly no signs of wear besides a slightly soiled sweat band. I overall better than extremely fine condition.
