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:

Memorial Cross to Pte.Vincent, Les Fusiliers Mont-Royal

GVI (C.120763 PTE.E.VINCENT). Naming is officially engraved. Very fine. Accompanied by copies of his Attestation Paper and Service Records. Footnote: Eugene Vincent, born April 23rd 1921 at Note Dame du Lous, Quebec, worked as a labourer prior to enlisting March 1943 at Kingston. Noted to be strong looking, quiet and perhaps slightly dull, Vincent spoke only French, and had difficulty passing basic training due to language difficulty. It is also noted that he did not like the Army because of the language difficulty. According to his examination, he attended school until grade 4 and then proceeded to work in the lumber bush for seven years. At this time, he was reserved with limited interests due to environment, complained of common colds, bad ankles, and sore eyes. He was rather nervous, easily startled, and easily disturbed. As a member of the Les Fusiliers Mont-Royal, was reported wounded on July 25th 1944. Shortly after his recovery, he was recorded as Killed in Action on September 17th 1944. His is buried in Belgium.
