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 Fine German Made Order of Medjidie (Mecidiye); 5th Class Knight Breast Badge

Of high quality manufacture in silver, center appliqué and suspension in Gold and enamels, engraved in running italic script "Otto Husserl" on the reverse, 46.8 mm x 67.5 mm inclusive of its crescent moon and star suspension, replacement ribbon, chipping evident in the red enamels on the crescent moon on the suspension, residue in the recessed areas from cleaning, contact marks on the reverse, better than very fine.

Footnote: In 1917, Oberst (Colonel) Otto Husserl was the last commander of the Austro-Hungarian Infantry Regiment No. 35, which had existed since 1683 and was disbanded in 1918. The 35th Regiment was a Bohemian regiment that included a number of Czech soldiers, who ended up being blamed for the defeat in the Battle of Zborov (Austria-Hungary vs. Russian and Czechoslovakian forces) in 1917, as they allegedly deserted their posts. However, this was just a propaganda effort when a scapegoat was needed.
