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:

Austria, Imperial. A Franz Joseph Order with Swords, Commander, by V. Mayer, c.1917

(Kaiserlich-Österreichischer Franz-Joseph-Orden). Instituted 1849. In bronze gilt and enamels, measuring 37.4mm (x 76.15mm including crown suspension), marked on the ring “V. Mayer & Sohne”, “In Wien”, along with typical War-time “star” hallmark; Swords are placed under the crown, in this case with considerably larger space between the crown and the badge. Badge comes with long original ribbon, slight enamel imperfections, in worn condition; only approximately 60 awarded in total during WW1, thus very rare Imperial Austrian Order.
