How to make an offer
While logged in, type in your offer in the Make Offer field. It needs to be higher than the Minimum and Current offers.
After you typed the Make Offer button will become active.
Click it and you will be redirected to your wallet to validate the transaction. After this your offer is recorded on the blockchain.
After an offer has been made, it stays locked in the contract for 24 hours.
After you make an offer
When you make an offer, your funds get into escrow and there are 3 things that can happen:
1. The owner accepts your offer
In this case your funds go to the owner and you got yourself a new NFT. Nice!
2. Your offer get overtaken
Someone made an offer higher than yours. In this case, you don't need to do anything and your funds get back to you automatically.
3. Your offer unlocks
You have the highest offer but after 24 hours the Owner has not accepted it. In this case, you need to manually withdraw your offer from escrow. Two ways to do it:
On the Rolling Auction page, in the Offers table, find your offer and click Withdraw.
Click on Orders under Manage in the navbar.
You can check in the Auction Page or in the My Offers page in how long your offer will unlock.
Keep in mind as an buyer:
You can check all your offers in the My Offers page (under Create)
When you bid, you put your NEAR into escrow
When you get outbidded your funds are automatically released from escrow
The owner of the listing can accept anytime within 24 hours, or later if you do not withdraw your offer
After an offer you placed unlock, you can pull back your NEAR from escrow by pressing Withdraw on the Rolling Auction page, or on the My Offers page (which you can find in the Launchpad)
If you have the top offer (and don’t withdraw after 24 hours) the seller can accept it at anytime.
