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:

United States. A Lot of Three Service Medals

United States; Marine Corps Expeditionary Medal (bronze, 34 mm, original ribbon with brooch pinback, marked "G27" on the pinback); and two China Service Medals (both are bronze, one is 33 mm, the other is 34 mm, original ribbons with brooch pinbacks, marked "GRACO-GI" and "LIGI" on the pinbacks respectively). Ranging from very fine to extremely fine.

Footnote: The Marine Corps Expeditionary Medal is a military award of the United States Marine Corps. It was established on May 8, 1919 as the Marine Corps Expeditionary Ribbon. A full-sized medal was authorized on March 1, 1921 by Presidential Order of Warren G. Harding. The Marine Corps Expeditionary Medal is therefore one of the oldest medals of the United States military which is still issued to active duty personnel. The China Service Medal was a service medal awarded to U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard personnel. The medal was instituted by Navy Department General Order No. 176 on July 1, 1942. The medal recognized service in and around China before and after the Second World War.
