Reselling tokens

Resell unused tokens from your Trading account back on the order book.

Tokens in your Trading account can be sold back on the same order book you bought them from. Use what your workload needs, resell what it doesn't. Proceeds land in your Trading USD balance, ready to fund your next purchase.

How reselling works

The book has two sides, asks and bids, and anyone with inventory can post an ask: suppliers selling fresh capacity, or you reselling tokens you bought. Any tokens in your Trading account can be listed with a market or limit sell regardless of when you bought them.

Two conditions apply:

• Reselling requires Advanced Mode, since you're placing orders yourself. Switch in Settings → Account.
• Tokens are sellable only while they sit in your Trading account. Transfers to your Consumption account are one-way, Trading to Consumption, so transferred tokens are committed to inference.

Buy at the price you'd like, transfer what you'll use, sell the rest

1. Buy with a market or limit order on, say, text-prime. Fills land in your Trading account for that instrument.
2. Transfer the tokens you plan to consume into your Consumption account. The Consumption API draws against that balance.
3. Sell the remainder with a market or limit sell, in the Trading dashboard or through the Trading API. Same book, same price-time priority.
4. Proceeds credit your Trading USD balance and can fund any future purchase, on this instrument or any other.

Reselling keeps your spend tied to what you actually use

A limit buy allows you to specify the maximum price you're willing to pay while buying inference. Reselling helps you control the spend you've already invested: if you hold more tokens than you need, or the price moves after you fill, sell the surplus back. Your effective cost tracks what you consumed, not what you bought, and you can experiment with buy sizes without every experiment becoming a commitment.
