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, Empire. An Order of St. Rupert of the Prince-Archbishopric of Salzburg, Knight's Cross

Cross of the KNights of the Order, in 18Kt Gold (tested) and enamels, measuring 51.35mm x 51.5mm, weighs 55.7 grams, circa 1900 period manufacture, unmarked, of excellent quality manufacture, in extremely fine condition and very rare.

Footnote: The Order of St. Rupert of the Prince-Archbishopric of Salzburg, established in 1701, consisting of 3 grades (Grand cross, Commander and Knight) was seldom awarded and no precise information exists on exact design of the cross. This particular cross was reproduced circa 1900, based on illustration in the work from the "Order of the Garter to the Legion of Honor, the Historical Orders of Chivalry and Merit of Europe', 1821. Cross was worn on a lilac colored ribbon.

For a nearly identical cross, see Christian Ortner & Georg Ludwigstorff "Austrian Orders and Decorations", part 3, Volume 1, page 195.
