# Placing a Bid

To place a bid, choose an NFT and press "Select Token" above the "Bid" button.

You'll be asked to sign one transaction to place a bid. Bids are public. If the owner of the listing accepts the bid, the transaction becomes a private sale between the lister and bidder.&#x20;

The bidder still needs to return to the NFT Market and purchase the NFT. Purchasing the NFT will follow the same steps outlined in [this section](/the-open-x-project/nft-market-multichain/purchasing-an-nft.md) and consist of two transactions on the blockchain.&#x20;
