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.

Poland, People's Republic. A Battle of Lenino Cross, c.1943

Krzyż Bitwy pod Lenino. Instituted in 1988. In silvered metal, measuring 41.8 mm (w) x 41.8 mm (h), light surface wear on the obverse, rust evident on the reverse, original ribbon, very fine.

Footnote: The Cross was instituted by Act of Parliament of May 16, 1988 and awarded to surviving participants in the Battle of Lenino, October 12-13, 1943. The battle was significant in being the first engagement fought by the Soviet-backed Polish People’s Army against German forces. The Polish detachment attacked a larger and well-entrenched German force and sustained losses of about a quarter of its total strength, withdrawing after two days. Polish forces went on to play a significant but not well-known role in the Red Army advance all the way to Berlin.
