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:

Tuscany, State. An Order of Saint Joseph, Grand Cross Star, by C.F. Rothe, c.1900

(Ordine del Merito di San Giuseppe). Instituted on 19 March 1807. In finely toned silver, with six scaled arms each with ball finials, cross arms with intermittent rays, centre depicting St. Joseph with motto surround, reverse with pin assembly, pin presenting the maker mark for C. F. ROTHE, WIEN, measuring 86.70 mm (w) x 87.01 mm (h), weighing 98.2 grams, of extremely high quality, and in extremely fine condition.

Footnote: The order was originally founded in 1514 as an award for military, civil and spiritual merits. It was inactive until revived by Grand Duke Ferdinand III of Tuscany in 1807. The order was issued in three classes and was generally confined to members of the Roman Catholic faith until it was abolished in 1860.
