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.

Un-mounted, original ribbons, dark patinas on the Second World War and Korea medals, tarnishing evident on all silver medals, contact marks and surface wear, fine. Accompanied by a Ribbon Bar (incorporating the ribbons of the four war medals, 11 mm x 130 mm, triple push pins); Royal Canadian Army Service Corps Cap Badge, George VI (bronze, 40 mm x 42.3 mm, intact lugs and pin); General Service Pin (sterling silver, maker marked "BMCo", marked "STERLING" and number stamped "857211" on the reverse, 15.5 mm x 23 mm, screwback); Identification Tags (metal, two-up together, slotted, stamped "B801242 PTE MCKEOUGH L R C/E CDN", 44.5 mm x 44.5 mm); Korean War 25th Brigade Shoulder Patch (Japanese made, gold-coloured and silver bullion wire, illustrating a maple leaf framed inside an open-ended wreath, inscribed "CANADA" above, on a red wool field, black water-resistant paper backer, 59 mm x 76 mm); and Korean War Commonwealth Division Shield Shoulder Patch (Japanese made, gold-coloured and silver bullion wire, illustrating a King's crown above the inscription "COMMONWEALTH" inside an elongated capsule, on a United Nations light blue field, black water-resistant paper backer, 62 mm x 83 mm). Footnote: Although not a Canadian formation patch, two types of Commonwealth patches were worn by Canadians serving in the Far East. Those in the 25th Brigade wore the Commonwealth Division shield, usually on the left arm. The Commonwealth Division shield, during the war, bore a King's crown, but occupation troops serving in Korea after the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II wore Queen's crowns. The "official" backing colour to the shield was United Nations blue, but like French Grey, the exact shade used in practice varied from badge to badge.
