# Trading NFTs

## What does the countdown timer mean?

By default, collections are set to last for 14 days. If, after the 14-day period, a collection has not been completely sold out, the NFTs will be returned to their respective owners. In this scenario, any collectors who have made purchases from the collection will receive a refund of their funds.

## Can collections be live for longer than 14 days?

Yes, if a collection has a significant portion of NFTs already sold at the end of 14 days, then the artist will have the option of extending the duration of the collection for an additional 7 days.

The creator will be required to make an announcement in the [main Telegram group](https://t.me/blindboxes) and the [Discord "drops" channel](https://discord.gg/rdqDgswj) about extending the collection.
