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.

Spain, Kingdom. A Royal and Military Order of Saint Hermenegildo, 2nd Class Cross, c. 1920

(Real y Militar Orden de San Hermenegildo). Instituted 1814. Alfonso XIII (1902-1931). A four-armed star with typical Spanish ball finials in bronze gilt, with faceted silver rays in each quadrant, obverse centre in bronze gilt depicting a bronze-gilded figure of St. Hermenegildo superposing on a dark-blue-enamelled medallion, surrounded white-enamelled border with the inscription “Premio a la Constancia Militar” (Award for Military Constancy), with surrounded green-enamelled laurel wreath in bronze gilt, reverse with a pin assembly and dual stays, measuring 71.34 mm (w) x 71.01 mm (h), very fine.

Footnote: The Royal and Military Order of St. Hermenegildo was founded in Spain by King Ferdinand VII on November 28, 1814. It was established in recognition of Spanish and foreign military personnel who defeated Napoleon’s army at the Peninsular War (1807-1814).

The Order is currently awarded in Spain in recognition of length of service to the nation, with an unbroken record of exemplary behaviour in the performance of their duties.
