A little while ago, we showed you how to mint and sell your NFTs. But what if you’re just getting started with NFTs? If you’re looking to take part in the market by buying one, then this guide is for you! We’ll be looking at how to buy your first NFT on the APENFT marketplace. Specifically, how to buy a fixed-price NFT. Stay tuned for our guide on how to make an offer on an NFT that is up for auction.

Before we get to buying, let’s get some things set up:

A wallet to store your crypto and NFTs. For this guide, you’ll need a TronLink Wallet to connect to APENFT’s platform.
You will need some crypto in your wallet to pay for the NFT, as well as any other associated fees.
And of course an account on your NFT marketplace of choice! In this case, an account on APENFT! Check out this guide for how to create your very own account.

Now, let’s get started on how to buy your first NFT!

1. From your browser or from the Poloniex website/app, go to https://apenft.io/. If you’re using Poloniex, simply click on ‘NFT’ and you will be taken to the marketplace’s homepage.

2. Click “Explore” on APENFT’s homepage.

3. After entering the Explore page, click “Buy Now” on the left panel to filter your page to show all fixed-price NFTs.

4. See an NFT that you like? Click on it to view its details. You will be able to tell that an NFT is selling for a fixed-price if there is a “Buy Now” button on its page.

5. Next, click “Buy Now” and follow the prompts given by your wallet. After the transaction is completed, the item will be transferred to your wallet and the seller will receive your payment.

And that’s it! After following these steps, you will have your very own NFT!

If you’re feeling ready to get started, visit the Poloniex homepage and click “🔥NFT” in the top menu bar.
