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. An Order of Isabella the Catholic, Knight, c.1890

(Orden de Isabel la Católica). Instituted 1815. Queen Isabel II issue. An early award consisting of a ball-tipped silver gilt Maltese cross with scaly arms and red enamels, featuring clusters of five rays of different length in each quadrant, obverse centre depicting the inscription A LA LEALTAD ACRISOLADA (To Pure Loyalty) on an enameled white border, reverse having a monogram of Queen Isabel II on an enameled blue background, surrounded by the inscription POR ISABEL LA CATOLICA (For Isabella the Catholic), suspended by an enameled green laurel wreath in silver gilt, measuring 40.89 mm (w) x 64.08 mm (h - inclusive of laurel wreath and integral ball), with lost of gilt and toned silver, accompanied by original ribbon, near very fine.

Footnote: The Order of Isabella the Catholic was instituted as the Royal and American Order of Isabella the Catholic (Real y Americana Orden de Isabella Católica) by royal decree of March 24, 1815. The name of the Order was modified when the Spanish Crown abandoned its intentions of ruling Latin America and overseas on April 15, 1889. The Order was founded as a civil and military order awarded in recognition of those men who had served the interests of the Spanish Crown in Latin America and overseas.
