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.

A Lot of Six Awards Recovered from the Bombed Zimmermann Factory

A fine lot of six awards recovered from the bombed Zimmermann factory, consisting of 1) Three War Merit Crosses Second Class with Swords; one (bronze) appears finished while the other two are first strikes; in zinc. 2) A Close Combat Clasp; first trike; in zink. 3) A German Social Welfare medal; appears finished (bronze). 4) An unknown german award with two rings of red enamels on the outer edge. In fire damaged and ground found condition.

Footnote: Zimmermann was a well known German manufacturer of a great variety of awards, German, as well as international, that was destroyed in an allied bombing raid in the early 1940’s on Pforzheim, Germany. Sometime during the 1990’s, during construction on the former factory site, a quantity of medals was discovered and purchased by eMedals. Some were in good condition, but most of the pieces exhibited fire damage, or were rusted. Hundreds of pieces were partially finished, and some items were just medal parts, as one would expect to be found in the factory.
