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:

Twenty-Two Percent (22%) of the Hammer Price

Soviet Union, Georgia. A State Prize of the Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic (GSSR), c.1965

Type I, circa 1960s-1970. In 14K Gold, weighing 20.5 grams inclusive of its framed suspension, measuring 26 mm in diameter, suspended from a traditional-style ribboned gilded brass frame with pinback, very light contact, near extremely fine.

Footnote: The State Prize of the Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic was awarded after the introduction of the "republican" state prizes in the 1960s and until the late 1980s, while Georgia was still a part of the Soviet Union. Interestingly, two versions of the same medal, in brass and solid gold, co-existed and were issued at the same time depending on the importance of the recipient. Ostensibly, the "lower class" recipients were getting the same award as the high ranking party apparatchiks, but the people "in the know" knew the difference. Reportedly, some 500 State Prize Medals of Georgian SSR were issued in total, including both brass and gold versions. The suspension device in gilded brass is very similar in design to that of Lenin Prize and USSR State Prize medals.
