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:

Sardinia, Kingdom. A Military Order of Savoy, Type I, c.1817

1st type, 1815-1855. (Ordine Militare di Savoia, 1° tipo) Silver Greek cross with green enamel laurel wreath between the arms, on pierced Savoy crown suspension; the face with a white enamel Greek cross set in a red enamel Greek cross; the reverse plain silver with the incised crowned cipher of King Vittorio Emanuele; width 19mm (0.75 inch), height including crown suspension 37 mm (1.45 inches); on replaced correct ribbon, very fine.

Footnote: The Order was instituted by King Vittorio Emanuele I of Sardinia on 14 August 1815 to recognise military merit and zeal. It was radically revised by King Vittorio Emanuele II on 28 September 1855 with new insignia and divided into four classes, a fifth being added on 23 March 1895. It was discontinued on 2 January 1947, becoming the Military Order of Italy.
