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.

Germany. A Rare 1939-40 German Commemorative War Medal

Medal is die struck in bronzed iron (magnetic), 32.14mm, it weighs 14.4 grams, in mint condition, unmarked, with original ribbon. Very rare. Footnote: In 1971-72, in Frankfurt, a local coin/medal dealer/collector, his last name is Granass, bought a small quantity of these medals (20-30 pcs) directly from a director, Mr. Ferdinand Wiedmann; at the time factory was being closed down, and during a clean-up, a small batch of these medals was discovered. Mr. Granass was at the time selling his goods at the antique market in Frankfurt (the antique market was located directly opposite the Wiedmann factory). During mid 1970’s English collector P.J. bought one of these medals from Mr. Granass, and eventually sold the medal to a well-known collector-dealer Jimmie "the Greek", who sold this medal to eMedals about 15 years ago.
