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.

Bronze, 32 mm, original ribbon, extremely fine.Footnote: The intention of creating a medal for "the current war" was expressed by the Ministry of War on November 4, 1941 and reaffirmed on July 3, 1945 and November 17, 1948. However, it was not until May 6, 1959 that the award was finally instituted for those who had served a minimum of three months in the armed forces, had been wounded, had accomplished outstanding feats of arms or had been awarded the Valore Militare or the Croce al Merito di Guerra. The first version was produced by Bomisa-Aielli, while this second version is anonymous and not often found.
