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.

The original decree states: "The National Order is designed to reward persons, living or dead, who have distinguished themselves by grandiose works, by remarkable deeds in the discharging of their duty of by their bravery and those who have honoured and served the country by their lofty virtues or their outstanding knowledge. The National Order is also designed to reward the various organizations of the Army, the officially recognized groups, the administrative agencies (provinces, municipalities, towns, delegations, cantons, villages, districts) actuated by a lofty spirit of sacrifice and bravery and which have carried out actions whose glamour glorifies the country. Moreover, the National Order may be awarded to foreigners for diplomatic reasons. The National Order may be awarded on a civil or military basis."
