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.

Serbia, Kingdom. An Order of St. Sava, V Class Knight, c.1910

Orden Svetog Save. Type II (1903-1921). In silver gilt with blue, white and red enamels, Saint in red robes, date "1883" on the reverse, marked with a Diana's head (Dianakopf) hallmark, which was used between 1872 and 1922, the head flanked by the assay city mark "A" (Vienna) on the left and the number "2" (.900 silver fineness) on the right, along with three other marks on the ring, measuring 42 mm (w) x 66.5 mm (h) inclusive of its crown suspension, small chip in the blue enamels on the arm at 9 o'clock on the reverse, scattered gilt wear, eagles from each quadrant removed, otherwise better than fine.

Footnote: The Order of St. Sava was a decoration of the Kingdom of Serbia established by Milan I on January 23, 1883. The Order of Saint Sava was established originally to recognize civilians for meritorious achievements to the Church, to arts and sciences, the royal house and the state. In 1914, a change was made permitting military personnel to receive the honour for military merit. The Order of St Sava was then awarded by the King of Yugoslavia until the abolishment of the monarchy in 1945. It was awarded in five grades: Grand Cross, Grand Officer, Commander, Officer and Knight.
