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:

Missing at Ypres - Pte.Stringer, 3rd Can Infantry

1914-15 Star (10073 PTE. C.R. STRINGER. 3/CAN:INF:); British War and Victory Medals (10073 L. CPL. C.R. STRINGER. 3-CAN.INF.). Naming is officially impressed on the trio. A well executed and thin clear coat on all three, better than very fine. Accompanied by the Memorial Plaque (CHARLES RICHARD STRINGER) with previous mounting marks on the reverse, plus copies of his Attestation Paper, Service Records and Medical Records. Footnote: Charles Richard Stringer was born on July 31, 1890 in Toronto, Ontario. He signed his Attestation Paper on September 22, 1914 in Valcartier, Quebec, stating that he was not married, that he had no previous military and that his trade was that of Electrotyper. Stringer was serving with the 3rd Canadian Infantry Battalion, Central Ontario Regiment, in France and Belgium, when he went missing and was presumed dead, April 24, 1915, during the Second Battle of Ypres, at the age of 24. He is commemorated on the Menin Gate (Ypres) Memorial, Belgium. His brother, John, was the recipient of his medal group, along with the Memorial Cross and Plaque, as their mother had already passed. The Cross is not included here, as it has been lost to time.
