Vaulted items are stored securely in Drip’s Vault and can be traded instantly between buyers and sellers. When browsing the Marketplace, you can find these under the Vaulted section. Instead of only purchasing outright, you also have the option to make an offer directly on these listings.
Here’s how to make an offer on vaulted items step by step:
Step 1: Go to the Vaulted Section of the Marketplace
From the main Marketplace navigation, select Vaulted. This will show all items currently listed in the Vaulted marketplace. Many of these will display a Make Offer button, which means the seller is open to receiving offers.
Step 2: Select the Item You Want to Negotiate For
Click on the vaulted product you’re interested in. On the product page, you will see the option to Make Offer alongside the details of the item. Selecting this opens the offer creation screen.
Step 3: Choose the Type of Offer
When building your offer, you have flexibility:
Cash-only offers: Enter the amount of money you would like to propose. For example, if the item is listed at $50, you might offer $40 instead.
Item-for-item offers: Select one or more items from your Vault to trade. Because everything is already vaulted, these can transfer instantly if accepted.
Cash plus item offers: If you want to strengthen your proposal, you can combine a vaulted item with a cash amount. For instance, trading a $20 vaulted item plus $10 cash for a $30 vaulted listing.
All your choices are displayed clearly in the offer window before you finalize.
Step 4: Review Your Proposal
Double-check that the offer reflects exactly what you intend to send. The screen will show:
The item you want to receive.
The cash and/or vaulted items you are offering.
The total balance of the trade.
You can make adjustments before submission if needed.
Step 5: Submit the Offer
Click Submit Offer to send it to the seller. Once submitted:
The item moves out of your cart and into your Offers page because it is now under negotiation.
The seller is notified and can take action on the offer.
You’ll be able to track the status of the offer from your account.
Step 6: Wait for the Seller’s Decision
The seller can take one of three actions:
Accept: The vaulted item transfers instantly into your Vault. The items or cash you included in your offer move to the seller’s Vault or balance.
Decline: The offer is closed with no exchange. The item remains available in the Marketplace.
Counter: The seller adjusts the offer (for example, asking for a higher amount) and sends it back to you for review. You can then accept, decline, or counter again.
Step 7: Track Offers in Your Account
All your offers can be viewed in your Offers page, including pending, accepted, declined, or countered deals. Notifications are also sent to your inbox so you don’t miss updates.
Making offers on vaulted items is a secure way to negotiate because everything involved is already in the Vault. Transfers happen instantly once accepted, making it much faster and easier than waiting for shipping.
