Scottrade limit order without bid

The Scottrade web site does not allow a limit order to be entered for options that dont have a bid or ask. Writing covered calls at .10 or so might be filled intra-day even though there is currently no bid, and that is why a limit order can be useful.
They told me to call my local branch to enter the order. Wonder what that commission will be?
