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.

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:

Footnote: The United Farmers of Alberta Mounted Infantry Corps was an agricultural association recruited by the Legion of Frontiersmen, to provide mounted rifles in Edmonton and in outlying areas around the City of Edmonton in 1916. “Captain Rice Sheppard stated 600 men had signed up out of the U.F.A. for a mounted corps.” This UFA-MIC reported formations in Edmonton, and in the outlying rural villages and districts of St.Albert, Bremner, Stony Plain, Spruce Grove, Winterburn, Horse Hills, Belmont Park, Clearwater, and Leduc. Along with this group, the Frontiersmen recruited units from other employment groups as well: the Wholesalers’ Platoon, the Edmonton City Dairy workers, and even sporting clubs like the Curlers’ unit.
