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:

A Hanoverian Waterloo Medal; Corporal Georg Markonett Waterloo KIA

(CORPORAL GEORG MARKONETT, LANDWEHR BAT. MUENDEN). Naming is impressed in large capitals, with a period correction to the second "T" in "MARKONETT", with original claw, near extremely fine.

Footnote: Corporal Georg Markonett was Killed in Action at Waterloo, and his name is on the Waterloo monument, under the heading "DRITTES ODER LANDWEHR BATALLION MUNDEN" (fourth line from the bottom, second name from the left), with the rank and first name correct, but his surname spelled differently: "Corpor. Gg. Marconet” on the monument versus "Corporal Georg Markonett” on the medal. This type of misspelling is not unusual for the era.
