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.

Three days later, he was taken on strength by 25 Canadian Reinforcement Group (Reinforcement Company, 2nd Battalion Royal Canadian Regiment) at Petawawa, Ontario on August 21st. He was immediately transferred for training to the Royal Canadian Army Service Corps School at Camp Borden, Ontario, where he was to remain for the next ten weeks, until November 3rd.

What little information there is regarding his overseas service has been "blacked out" on his service records. Price was awarded the Korea Medal in the field on November 10, 1951, while an active participant with the 54th Transport Company. He was struck off strength of the Canadian Active Service Force (Far East) on June 28, 1952, embarking the Far East that day and disembarking in Canada on July 7th, having served in the Far East theatre for a little under fourteen months. He returned to Fredericton for three months additional service, before being discharged on October 15, 1952 at No. 2 Personnel Depot, credited with having served in Canada, the United States and the Far East. Price was awarded the Korea Medal and the United Nations Korea War for his war service, with his Canadian Volunteer Service Medal for Korea issued to him later, in April 1992.
