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:

Footnote: The Order of Americans of Armorial Ancestry was organized on September 15, 1903 and was incorporated in the State of New York on December 30, 1903. The organization was founded by Mrs. William Gerry Slade, and others. The objectives of the Order of Americans of Armorial Ancestry are to promote genealogical, biographical, and historical research, with emphasis on the ancestry of American families of armorial descent and as far as possible the publication of results stemming from such research. The Order of Americans of Armorial Ancestry is the only order based upon the right to bear arms as a qualification for membership. Any person aged eighteen or over, of good moral character and reputation is eligible for membership in the Order provided the candidates prove descent from an immigrant ancestor who settled on or before July 4, 1776 within a territory that became the forty-eight contiguous states of the United States of America and who had a proven right to bear arms in the settler’s country of origin. An applicant is proposed by two members of the Order who know the applicant. Only one proposer is necessary if the applicant is a member of lineage societies with local chapters: DAR, SAR, SR, OFPA, DFPA, Colonial Wars, etc. Cary Smith Loud Vaughan was born on August 28, 1887 in South Carolina, the daughter of Philologus Hawkins Loud (1859-1914) and Willa Ida Smith Loud (1860-1905), and had one sister, Esther Ashton Loud Bethea (1889-1972). She was married to Guy Vaughan (1881-1968), the couple having one son: Guy Vaughan (1912-1989). Cary Smith Loud Vaughan was a member of the Order of Americans of Armorial Ancestry and the Daughters of the American Revolution. She died on September 27, 1979, at the age of 92 and is buried at Williston Cemetery in Williston, Barnwell County, South Carolina.
