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 1936-1939 Spanish Campaign Medal with Carton

Bronze gilt and a black matte finish, 36.3 mm, laterally-pierced ball suspension, original ribbon, horizontal hanger with pinback, scattered wear on the black matte finish, better than very fine. Accompanied by its cardboard box of issue, marked in blue ink "MINISTERIO DEL EJERCITO / MEDALLA CONMEMORATIVA" (Department of the Army, Commemorative Medal) on the top panel, marked "MEDALLA DE TROPA" (Troop's Medal) on the bottom panel and maker marked "DIEZ T COMPANIA, S. A. - Madrid" on the side panel, box extremely fine. Footnote: The medal was established on January 26, 1937 and awarded to members of the Falangist forces fighting against the Republicans in the Spanish Civil War. The date on the medal of July 17, 1936 is that of the beginning of the armed rebellion against the Republican government. The rebels failed to take control of major cities, including Madrid and Barcelona, although the government could not successfully suppress the uprising. A long and bloody civil war followed and lasted until April 1, 1939. This led to atrocities on both sides and eventual victory for the conservative rebels.
