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:

South Africa, Republic. A Southern Africa Medal, Numbered Issue

Instituted in 1989. Type I with Uniface Suspender. In nickel-silver, number impressed "014121" on the reverse, measuring 38 mm (w) x 38 mm (h), original ribbon, extremely fine.

Footnote: The medal was instituted in 1989 and awarded for special participation in specified cross-border activities in defence of the Republic of South Africa. The award was to have been originally called the "Trans Jati Medal", the "Jati" being the cut line. The medals were to have been made from the medal of a captured Russian T-34 tank but the metal was found to be unsuited for the purpose. Instead, a small amount of melted metal from the tank was mixed with nickel-silver. There were two strikings of the medal: the first with a uniface suspender struck as an integral part of the medal, the second with a double-faced suspender attached to the medal.
