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:

Ustasha Black Legion Badge

Ustasha Black Legion Badge - Badge in zinc, lacquered in black, blue and red, 48mm(w) x 52mm(h), pin back, unmarked (sole maker was Braca Knaus, Zagreb), in near mint condition; one of the most rarest and most desirable WWII Croatian badges; awarded to the members of the Black Legion. Footnote: the Black Legion (Crna Legija) was an Ustaše militia infantry unit active during World War II, and later incorporated into the 5th division of the Croatian Armed Forces in December 1944. The legion was formed in September 1941, in Sarajevo, as the 1st Ustaša Regiment. It consisted largely of Muslim and Croatian refugees from eastern Bosnia; legion's commanders were initially Colonel Jure Francetić, and later Major Rafael Boban. Black Legion, a relatively small unit consisting of 1000-2000 men, became known for its fierce fighting against the Chetniks and the Partisans, mainly in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
