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.

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:

Austria, Empire. A Carinthia Bravery Cross, 2nd Class, c.1919

In war materials, 33.5 mm, very light contact, near extremely fine. Footnote: The medal was instituted on November 4, 1919 by the Kärntner Freiheitskämpf (Carinthian Freedom Fighters), a paramilitary organization set up by former soldiers in the chaos following the end of the First World War, to maintain order and in particular, to resist the incursion into southern Carinthia of Yugoslav forces seeking its annexation. The situation was stabilized and in a plebiscite (referendum) held on October 10, 1920, the inhabitants voted to become part of the new Austrian Republic.
