# 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;

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.openxswap.exchange/the-open-x-project/nft-market-multichain/placing-a-bid.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
