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:

Twenty-Two Percent (22%) of the Hammer Price

United States. An American Society of the Army of the Potomac in Gold, c.1890

A 14K Gold double Maltese cross enamelled in red, with badges of six of the corps assigned to the army, the centre obverse presents a seal with a crescent moon, a star, and the cipher AP, the reverse is engraved with the number 721, measuring 33.12 mm (w) x 33.12 mm (h), with a top piece of crossed cavalry sabres, attached to a blue and white ribbon, a pair of crossed cannons below the ribbon, and in near very fine condition.

Footnote: The Society of the Army of the Potomac held its first reunion on July 5, 1869 in New York. It was created as a fraternal organization with the aim of commemorating Civil War veterans and preserving a record of their actions during the war. Membership in the Society was open to those who had served in the Army of the Potomac. Each of the medal's six rays features the symbol of a different corps from the Army of the Potomac. Many of these medals were made by Bailey, Banks and Biddle jewelers in Philadelphia. A scarce medal.
