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.

Iran, Pahlavi Kingdom. An Order of the Crown of Iran (Nishan-i-Taj-i-Iran), 5th Class, Officer

Iran (Pahlavi Empire); Six-piece construction, silver gilt with red, white, green and light blue enamels, maker marked Arthus Bertrand & Cie of Paris and marked "800" (silver) on the ring, 45.8 mm (w) x 65.3 mm (h) inclusive of its wreath and ball suspension, on an incorrect period ribbon, chipping evident in the green enamels on the wreath of the obverse centrepiece ring and in the light blue enamels on the reverse centrepiece, near extremely fine.

Footnote: The Order of the Crown of Iran (Nishan-i-Taj-i-Iran) was founded in 1913 (1332 AH) by Shah Ahmad Shah Qajar before his coronation as the highest dynastical and state order. Until 1926, it existed in two classes (with breast star and sash for both). The 1st Class had a collar (neck chain with badge as a pendant) reserved for the Shahanshah and the Crown-Prince. The Order was preserved in Iran after the fall of Qajars. Until the reform of the Order in 1938-1939, the sash was blue with thin green-white borders, after the reform, it was corn-yellow with sky-blue edges. The first Shah from the Pahlavi dynasty reformed the order after 1939. The order was the senior one after the dynastic Order of Pahlavi. It was awarded for outstanding meritorious service to Iran and was suppressed in February 1979 following the Iranian Revolution.
