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.

France, III Republic. A Medal for Upper Silesia Plebiscite, c.1922

Constructed of bronze, the obverse features an engraved coat of arms of Upper Silesia (Haute Silesia), with the name of state above, plain reverse with raised lettering COMMISSION INTERALLIEE DE GOUVERNEMENT ET DE PLEBISCITE 1920 – 1922, measuring 30.18 mm diameter, suspended by an oak wreath ornamented suspension also in bronze, on original chest ribbon, presenting general toned bronze, extremely rare medal in very good condition.

Footnote: During the years after the end of WWI, the allied powers administered a plebiscite in Upper Silesia, border between Prussia and France. There, it was discussed political and territorial situation of Germany and Poland after the war. The medal is considered a French medal (predominantly awarded to French armed forces), however the medal was actually issued by the Inter Allied government of Upper Silesia.
