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.

In silver gilt with red, white, blue and green enamels, cypher of Milan Obrenović IV on the obverse, Austrian hallmarked on the ring, with a lion's head flanked by an "A" (Vienna assay mark) on the left and a "4" (.750 silver fineness) on the right, measuring 42.3 mm (w) x 70.3 mm (h) inclusive of its crown suspension, crazing evident in the white enamels on the arm at 6 o'clock on the obverse, painted jewels at the base of the crown have worn off, on its original full-length neck ribbon, better than very fine.

Footnote: The Order of the Cross of Takovo was instituted in the Principality of Serbia in 1865, to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Second Serbian Uprising against the Ottoman Empire, which had started in Takovo, Serbia. The decree that established the Cross and Silver Medal was signed on May 22, 1865 by Mihailo Obrenović III, Prince of Serbia. The Order was suppressed in 1903.
