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:

Footnote: Congress authorized the current and only style of the Air Force Medal of Honor on July 6, 1960. The medal was designed by the U.S. Army Institute of Heraldry and replaced the Army design of the Medal of Honor as the award given to members of the Air Force after November 1, 1965. As with all other Medals of Honor, the Air Force design of the Medal of Honor is awarded for acts of personal bravery of self-sacrifice during combat that are so conspicuous as to clearly distinguished the individual for gallantry and intrepidity above his comrades.
