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:

Twenty-Two Percent (22%) of the Hammer Price

A First War Pair to the 72nd C.F.A.

A First War Pair to the 72nd C.F.A. - British War Medal (343065 GNR. G. COOPER. C.F.A.); and Victory Medal (343065 GNR. G. COOPER. C.F.A.). Naming is officially impressed. Dark patina on the BWM, on a supsension bar with swing bar pinback as worn by the veteran, better than very fine.

Footnote: Gerald Arthur Cooper was born on May 17, 1898 in Ottawa, Ontario. He signed his Attestation Paper on May 7, 1917 at Ottawa, ten days shy of his nineteenth birthday, listing his father, H. Copper, as his next-of-kin and stating that he had no previous military service, that he was not married and that his trade was that of Clerk. He served as a gunner with the 72nd Overseas Field Battery (72nd Queen's Battery), out of Kingston, Ontario.
