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:

Spain, Kingdom. An Order of Naval Merit, 1st Class with White Distinction, c. 1872-1876

Orden del Mérito Naval, 1ra clase con distinción blanca. Instituted in 1866. In bronze gilt with navy blue and white enamels, measuring 32 mm (w) x 66 mm (h) inclusive of its crown suspension, chipping evident in the navy blue enamels on the anchor on both sides, original ribbon suspended from a traditional Spanish-style horizontal hanger with pinback, very fine.

Footnote: The Order of Naval Merit was established on August 3, 1866 by Queen Isabella II as the Order of Naval Merit (Spanish: Orden del Mérito Naval) and amended many times (in 1918, 1926, 1931, 1938, 1942, 1976, 1995, 2003 and 2007). During the Spanish Civil War, it was recognized by both sides of the conflict.
