System and method for facilitating consignment and sales of inventory or services

Abstract

A system and method for the facilitation of sales for items or services between vendors and buyers through an intermediary platform. The sale of these goods or services would be implemented utilizing a haggling process in which the intermediary and each individual buyer would bargain for a final sale price of that item. Generally, each of the vendors provides the intermediary with a retail sale price and a minimum sale price for each of the items. Thereafter, a buyer would counter the retail price for each of the items with an offer presumably below the retail price. Haggle tables are utilized to allow the intermediary to counter the buyer's initial offer as well as subsequent counter offers by the buyer. Once a sale price for the particular item or service is finalized, the item would be delivered or service rendered to the buyer and the vendors account with the intermediary would be credited to reflect this purchase.
