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.

(Camicie Nere = Black Shirts). In bronze, obverse illustrating a downward-pointing sword being thrust into a rock, with a mountain and trees in the background, the rock inscribed "SCIRE" (a region of Ethiopia), surrounded by the inscriptions "3a DIVISIONE CC.NN.XXI APRILE" above and "29 febbraio - 3 marzo XIV" below, reverse illustrating the wolf of Rome nursing the two brothers insignia, flanked by fasces on either side, inscribed "ROMA: NOMEN ET OMEN" above and a figure-eight tied rope below, measuring 34.8 in diameter, spotting, near extremely fine. Footnote: The 3rd CCNN Division (CCNN = Camicie Nere, Black Shirts; also known as 3rd CCNN Division XXI Aprile) was one of the seven Black Shirt militia Divisions that were organized and fought in the Second Italo-Abyssinian War. The name "21 Aprile" was in honour of the legendary date of the founding of Rome, and also the date of the publication of the Manifesto of the Fascist Intellectuals on April 21, 1925. Its commander was Generale di Divisione Giacomo Appiotti. Scire was the name of the Ethiopian region, which at the time was part of Italian East Africa.
