# Using Bids on Peakmonsters

## Placing a Bid <a href="#placing-a-bid" id="placing-a-bid"></a>

If you are looking for a certain card but are unwilling to pay the current market price, you can always *place a bid* on [![](https://peakmonsters.com/static/favicons/favicon-16x16.png?v=tfg5y7)PeakMonsters](https://peakmonsters.com/) for exactly what you are willing to pay for that card. Bids are made using DEC, or Credits so to make a bid, you must have the appropriate amount of DEC in your Splinterlands account.

#### Note: The first time you place a bid, you'll be required to grant purchasing authority to Peakmonsters using your Active Key. This will allow Peakmonster to complete the requested transaction. <a href="#note-the-first-time-you-place-a-bid-youll-be-required-to-grant-purchasing-authority-to-peakmonsters" id="note-the-first-time-you-place-a-bid-youll-be-required-to-grant-purchasing-authority-to-peakmonsters"></a>
