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.

Turkey, Ottoman Empire. A Medal for Acre, V Class Silver Grade for Junior Officers

(Aaka Madalyasi). Instituted in 1840. In silver, measuring 29.7 mm in diameter, a hole drilled near the top edge for suspension, edge nicks, contact marks, very fine.

Footnote: The Medal for Acre was awarded to the officers and soldiers who fought in the Battle of Acre, including the military personnel of the allies of the Ottoman Empire. The Battle of Acre (also known as the Fourth Battle of Acre) occurred on November 3, 1840. Mehmet Ali had refused the conditions the Quadrilateral Alliance sought to impose. Acre was shelled by a combined British and Ottoman fleet under Admiral Sir Robert Stopford. The town was largely destroyed, the Egyptians withdrew and came to terms.
