# Buy and Sell

**Buy**: Purchasing an NFT from the marketplace comes with a transparent pricing structure. 

When a user decides to buy an NFT, the total cost includes an additional 2 NEAR fee that covers the creation of a vault for the purchased asset. This 2 NEAR fee ensures that the NFT is securely stored in a dedicated vault. The fee is incorporated into the overall purchase price, so the buyer is fully aware of the total cost upfront.

**Sell**: Selling NFTs on the marketplace is made easy with the available "LIST" option. When users want to sell an NFT that they have previously purchased or created (forged), they can use the “LIST” option available in the marketplace. The marketplace automatically provides the current price for the NFT based on real-time market data.

An additional 2 NEAR is added to the listing price to cover the cost of creating a vault for the NFT. This ensures that the seller does not incur any loss of funds due to the vault creation fee.
