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 Polish Inmates Cross with Award Document to Irena Rzegocka

Silver with red enamels, 42 mm, original ribbon, extremely fine. Accompanied by her Society of Fighters for Freedom and Democracy Veteran's Identification Booklet (hardcover, black and white photo of Rzegocka and numbered "0791629" on the inside front cover, pages printed in black ink, issued on September 6, 1988, 73 mm x 105 mm); and a Political Prisoners of Nazi Prisons and Concentration Camps "Auschwitz Cross" Identification Booklet (black and white photo of Rzegocka and numbered "05767" on the inside front cover, stating that she was born in Krakow on March 17, 1913 and resided in Krakow, printed in red, blue and black inks, issued on May 5, 1990, 75 mm x 105 mm).

Footnote: The Auschwitz Cross was instituted on March 14, 1985 and awarded to honour survivors of Nazi German concentration camps, including Auschwitz. It was awarded generally to Poles, but it was possible to have it awarded it to foreigners in special cases and could be awarded posthumously. It ceased to be awarded in 1999 but an exception was made in the case of Greta Ferusic, who was awarded it in February 2004.
