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 French National Order of Merit; Commander

Silver gilt with red, white and blue enamels, 55.7 mm x 84 mm inclusive of its wreath suspension, on a full-length neck ribbon, blue enamel repair on the arms, better than very fine. Footnote: The National Order of Merit is an Order of State with membership awarded by the President of the French Republic. It was founded on December 3, 1962 by President Charles de Gaullle. The Order was established for two reasons: to replace the large number of ministerial orders previously awarded by the ministries; and to create an award that can be awarded at a lower level than the Order of the Legion of Honour, which is generally reserved for French citizens.
