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.

A Prussian Memorial Badge of King Wilhelm I

A memorial badge with miniature portrait of King Wilhelm I of Prussia on obverse and miniature portrait of wearer’s wife on reverse; two piece construction; horizontal pin; unmarked; measuring 44 mm x 32 mm; eagle on-top slightly loose but still solidly attached, pictures slightly faded; but otherwise very fine condition. Footnote: Wilhelm I (Wilhelm Friedrich Ludwig, 22 March 1797 - 9 March 1888) of the House of Hohenzollern was the King of Prussia (2 January 1861 - 9 March 1888) and the first German Emperor (18 January 1871 - 9 March 1888), as well as the Head of State of Germany. It was during his reign that Prussia achieved the unification of Germany. He was described as polite, gentlemanly, and more open to certain classical liberal ideas than most other royalties of his time.
