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.

Ethiopia, Kingdom. A Eritrea Medal of Haile Selassie I, II Class Silver Grade

Footnote: The Eritrea Medal was instituted by Emperor Haile Selassie I in 1952, to recognize the services of those involved in the struggle to re-unite Eritrea with the Ethiopian Fatherland. The medal was awarded in three classes: I Class Gold Grade, II Class Silver Grade and III Class Bronze Grade. Eritrea was joined in federation with Ethiopia after the Second World War but in 1960, the Eritrean parliament voted unanimously for independence. There followed a long and bitter war for independence that ended only in 1991. Eritrea became independent on May 24, 1993 but war broke out again from 1998 to 2000 and many issues remain unresolved.
