# Secondary Market

The **Secondary Market** is where managers can buy and sell NFT Cards between themselves. Unlike the **Primary Market**, where cards are first introduced through auctions, the Secondary Market allows users to trade cards freely based on supply and demand.

**How It Works**

1. **Buying Cards** :
   * Browse the available listings from other managers.
   * Each card has a set price determined by the seller.
   * Purchase the card instantly at the listed price.
2. **Selling Cards** :
   * Select a card from your collection that you want to sell.
   * Set your own price based on the rider’s value, demand, and performance.
   * Once a buyer purchases your card, you receive the agreed amount in your wallet.
3. **Market Fluctuations**:
   * Card prices change depending on rider performance, demand, and scarcity.
   * Successful real-world performances can increase a rider’s value, making their cards more expensive.
   * Monitoring trends can help you make smart buying and selling decisions.

**Why Use the Secondary Market?**

* **Find Specific Cards**: If you missed an auction in the Primary Market, you might still find the card here.
* **Profit from Smart Trading**: Buy low and sell high by predicting rider performances and market trends.
* **Adjust Your Team**: If a rider underperforms, you can sell their card and reinvest in better options.

The Secondary Market is essential for optimizing your team, making strategic trades, and maximizing your success in CyLimit.
