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.

Buyer's Premium

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:

An American Made 1st Special Forces Badge c. 1943

An American Made 1st Special Forces Badge c. 1943 - White cotton embroidered lettering on a thick red cotton field, 40 mm x 85 mm, extremely fine. Footnote: Displayed from 1942 to 1945, this insignia was worn by elite volunteers, specialized in mountain and winter commando tactics. This Battalion was unique, in that it’s members were both Canadian and American personnel and combined the strongest assets of both groups. The arrowhead was chosen for the design because it was a mutual symbol common to the pioneering heritage of both countries.
