FIG. 4 shows an example of this output auction slip. As shown in FIG. 4, a serial number, vehicle name data (manufacturing company data), vehicle type data,
The grade data, drive type data, and engine type data are already printed.

Therefore, at the auction site, the actual vehicle to be put up for auction is confirmed, the state of the used vehicle is directly entered in the item description field, or the input device of the auction management server 32 of the auction management center 5 ( (Not shown) may be used to input the state.

Thus, at the auction site,
By simply entering or entering the state of the actual vehicle, it is possible to create the exhibition slip 100 required for auction listing, and the vehicle name data (manufacturing company data), vehicle type data, and grade data that were conventionally required. , Drive format data,
Also, it is not necessary to enter or enter engine model data.

As a result, on the side of the auction organizer, it is possible to reduce the cost required for manual input work and creation work of the exhibition slip 100, and it is possible to prevent input omissions and input errors.

Further, since the vehicle to be put up for auction is managed by the auction management server 32, it is possible to reduce the cost required for manually receiving the auction listing.

Further, since various data for identifying a vehicle are associated with each other by using a serial number as one unit and are managed by the used vehicle management center 4, when the exhibited vehicle is statistically processed, that processing is performed. It can be done easily and quickly. Therefore, it is possible to easily confirm social statistics such as demand trends necessary for selling used cars.

On the other hand, also in the companies 11 to 13 that supply used cars, it is not necessary to manually write or enter the information about the vehicle on the exhibition slip when putting up for auction. Therefore, it is possible to greatly reduce the time and effort required to create the exhibition slip 100.

Since the used vehicles can be registered for auction through the network 6 from the used vehicles suppliers 11-13, the used vehicles can be registered for auction at any time regardless of time. It becomes possible.

When a trader participates in the auction by making a successful bid for a used car, the serial number of the used car that has made a successful bid is given to the auction management center 5.
From the auction management server 32 of No. 1 to the terminal device 13b on the used car consumer side of the successful bidder (for example, the trader 13).

By accessing the used car data management server 23 of the used car management center 4 from the terminal device 13b, the predetermined car model group data 20 is retrieved from the car model group database 21 based on the serial number.

Then, the vehicle model group data 20 is
