# Primary Market

The **Primary Market** is where new NFT Cards are first released by CyLimit. Unlike the Secondary **Market**, where players trade cards among themselves. The Primary Market is the only place to get newly minted cards, unless your in-game skills earn you rewards !

**How It Works ?**

**Auction System** :

* Each card is sold through an auction, where managers bid against each other.
* The highest bid at the end of the auction wins the card.
* There is no fixed price; the final price depends on the demand.

**Limited Sales Windows**:

* Cards are only available for a set period.
* Once the auction ends, the card is no longer available in the Primary Market.
* Managers must be attentive to CyLimit’s Primary Market to know when new cards are released.

**First-Owner Bonus**:

* If you are the **first owner** of a card (buying it from the Primary Market), it receives an **in-game bonus**.
* This can give you an advantage in competitions compared to cards bought from other managers in the Marketplace.

**Why Buy from the Primary Market?**

* **Get Cards Before They Reach the Marketplace** : Since all cards start here, it's your first opportunity to get new riders.
* **Fair Bidding System** : Prices are determined by demand, allowing managers to compete openly.
* **First-Owner Advantage** : Owning a card first gives you an **extra bonus** in the game.

The Primary Market is a key way to strengthen your team and get exclusive riders before they become rare on the secondary market.
