Abstract

A price-comparing auctioning method satisfying buyers and sellers includes: launching a commodity and starting a bid invitation thereof by an auctioning system; setting a number of bidders; giving increasingly high bids by the bidders; collecting a preset commission from each bidder for each bid; setting an estimated price and a purchasing price for each bid; and displaying a message ''most accurate estimated price and highest purchasing price'' after determining the winning bid when bidding terminates. The buyers are informed of a winning bidder, and the system lets the latest winning bidder know whether the bidding will continue whenever the latest winning bidder's bid is surpassed by another bidder's bid; the bidding process repeats until a preset maximum number of bids runs out. The buyers each give a quotation discretionally, and the seller sells the commodity for the sum of the commissions paid by the bidders and the winning bid.

Description

Comparative auction

The present invention provides an online auction system combining the concepts of a Dutch auction (high auction auction) and a bid auction (sealed bid), in particular, it provides a auction system that provides both the buyer and the seller. The auction system can be satisfied, so that the seller can sell the expected amount, the buyer does not need to compete maliciously with other bidders in a way that the money is increased, the purchase will be satisfied at a low price, or the auction platform and the institution can obtain a reasonable profit. .

The auction is one of the ancient trading methods of mankind, dating back to Babylon in 500 BC. Auction models include English, Dutch, secret bidding, and double auctions. In the British auction mode, the seller proposes a price, the buyer bids above the price, wins the bid with the highest bidder within a predetermined time, and pays the price to the seller. The vast majority of online auctions are British auctions. In the Dutch auction, the seller proposes a high price, and the buyer bids at a price reduction according to the price difference until the price is accepted and the payment is made at that price. The popularity of secret bidding in auction online auctions is second only to British auctions. The buyer bids in secret bidding. Each buyer can only bid once, and each other does not know each other's bid. When the deadline is reached, the website operator will simultaneously disclose all the price and get the highest price. If the bidder pays according to the bid, the secret bid is called the highest bidding auction; if the bidder pays the price at the second highest price, it is called the sub-high price secret bid auction, also known as the Vickrey auction mode. .

Whether it's online shopping or physical shopping, sellers always want to sell things as high as possible, and buyers always want to buy things that can be as low as possible. This kind of humanity always likes bargaining mentality since ancient times. constant. From the traditional vegetable market, small vendors and mother-in-law's ten-yuan and five-yuan business, to the international trade, the business of hundreds of millions of people is constantly playing the bargaining code. In such psychological factors that sellers want to sell high prices and buyers want to buy low prices, sometimes it is not easy to find a balance point. The British auction system, which is commonly used today, is used by the seller to set a reserve price for many buyers to bid. The bidding method is to increase the amount of the reserve price, and the buyer’s price is the highest price. That one person is the winner. The flow of the gold flow is that the winner must pay the seller the gold, the seller collects the gold and then sells the goods, and the auction system stores the seller and then receives the commission. For example, YAHOO auctions, eBay auctions, Forbes auctions, etc., which are familiar to everyone, belong to them. However, the above-mentioned conventional auction system still has the following shortcomings:

1. The seller must set a reserve price because the seller will consider whether the reserve price is too high, so the reserve price determined is not the price the seller wants.

2. After the conclusion, the seller collects the bid from the buyer, but a part of the bid is paid as a commission to the auction platform or institution, causing the seller to pass the commission cost on the buyer, when the auction item is not Goods with extremely high profits only exploit the profits of sellers and buyers. They often only lose money to sell or buy expensive, and even auction platforms or institutions can not make money.

Third, the auction proceeds can only satisfy the seller as much as possible, or benefit the seller, and the opposite buyer must pay as much as possible to satisfy the seller's high price. If the seller does not meet the expectations, the buyer must also pay the high price marked on the commodity, so that only the unilateral The auction method that is benefited is missing.

Fourth, the buyer has to pay only a higher and higher price, and can never buy a price lower than the starting price. If the item is strong, it will even buy a price higher than the current market price.

Therefore, in view of the problems existing in the above-mentioned conventional structure, how to develop an innovative structure with more ideal and practicality, the consumers are eagerly awaiting, and the relevant industry must strive to develop the goal and direction of breakthrough.

In the conventional auction method, the seller sets a reserve price to allow many buyers to bid. The bidding method is to increase the amount of the reserve price, and the buyer’s price is the highest price of the “one person”. The flow of the gold flow is that the winner must pay the seller the gold, and the seller collects the gold and then ships the goods.

A method of competitive auction, the auction system completes the auction by the following steps: the system sets the "amount to be paid for each bid" and the "bid number limit" of the auction object and sets a condition such as "original price"; The system begins to provide buyers with the choice of subject matter according to their needs, and can provide buyers with subscript instructions. Each subscript action is deducted from the system by a certain set bid.

After accepting the buyer's instruction, the system will automatically check whether the buyer has enough points in the system memory. If it is No, the system will notify the subscript to replenish the points; if the system compares The result is "Yes". The system displays the amount of the "reasonable valuation" for the buyer to enter and the "purchase price" for the purchase price. After the buyer subscripts, the amount of each subscript is recorded by the system. After the auction system has integrated all the set conditions, the system will immediately judge whether the bid is obtained. If it is "No", the system will display the reason to inform the buyer why it is "No". The buyer can correct his/her own according to the system prompts. After "reasonable valuation" and "purchase price", the sub-index will be re-submitted. Of course, there will still be other competitors before the termination of the "bid number limit". The "bid number" system will be closed and the auction platform will be closed.

The system then confirms the winner and asks the winner to pay the amount of the “purchase price”. When the payment amount is completed, the system ends the bidding process for the subject matter.

A method of comparative auction is provided, which is different from the "the only one who has the highest price" in the prior art, and the price of the buyer is estimated to be "closest to the original price" and "purchase price". The only "highest price" person can win the bid and win the bid in the comparative auction method.

The above-mentioned objects, structures and features of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments of the present invention. .

This creative department provides a method designer for a comparative auction that satisfies the buyer and the auction system seller.

In order to enable your review committee to have a better understanding and understanding of the purpose, characteristics and efficacy of this creation, please refer to the following for a brief description of the following: Refer to the first figure, which is the flow chart of the invention. The present invention provides a method for price comparison auction, comprising an auction system, the auction system comprising at least one computer hardware and at least one program software, the auction system can satisfy the seller and let the seller sell what he wants. The price, the buyer can also get the price he wants to buy, and at the same time meet the auction platform or organization; the way is that many buyers pay a set bid for each bid, the amount of the bid is set by the auction platform or organization. The seller provides the goods and sets an original price for many buyers to estimate the original price. The buyer who estimates the amount of the "close to the original price" can enter the second stage of the bid. The buyer whose estimated amount is not the most "close to the original price" cannot participate. In the second stage (the bid is not included), the second stage bid must be higher than the original bidder’s “purchase price” to become the current bidder, auction platform or institution. Set the total number of bids, the total number of bids will be closed when the bid is reached. The bidder will be awarded the bidder who is the bidder at the time, that is, the "closest to the original price" and the "purchase price" is the highest bid. At this time, the auction platform or agency After the buyer collects the "purchase price", the auction system storeer confirms the identity of the winner and then delivers the goods and completes the bidding action.

The auction subscript process of the flow chart is: At first, the seller places the auction item on the station first, but the product player provided on the station does not see the market price or any price, and then, when inputting the subscript, the screen will When the system asks to enter the "estimated price amount" and "want to purchase amount" system, after receiving the instruction from the buyer, it will check whether the comparison has enough points in the auction system memory. If it is "No", the system will display a notification. The subscripter needs to add points; the method of supplementing the points can be used to obtain points by means of credit card, ATM, convenience store, telephone, mobile phone; and the conversion of points will be determined by the auction system (generally set to a point) That is, NT$1); if the result of the system comparison is “Yes” (it can be opened for bidding), the system will display the amount of the subscript for the buyer. After the buyer has subscripted, each subscript amount is recorded by the system as the deduction of the bid amount, which is the success of the subscript. The player needs to guess the estimate and enter the number of the amount closest to the commodity price (the smallest difference), in order to customize the subscript amount to mark the product (the first standard is no one, the course is the target; the second standard begins and A standard comparison, the number of the amount closest to the commodity price (the smallest difference) and the higher than the previous bidder's subscript amount, can replace the winning bid).

The winning rules of this creation are as follows:

1. The difference between the amount of player A and the amount of player B is the same. If the difference is the smallest, you can customize the amount of the target [that is, the amount you want to buy in the heart], and the bid is higher than the previous one. To win the bid.

2. If the amount of player A is equal to the difference of player B, the highest bidder will win the bid.

3. The amount of the subscript cannot be greater than 80% of the guessed amount.

Example: Example of the price of the iPad2 product: $15500 (price player does not know) The auction can be submitted for a total of ten times, each time paying $1700.

As shown in the above picture: The first standard is no one, and it is of course the target.

As shown in the above situation 2: Player A's amount difference will be compared with Player B's amount difference, because Player B's amount difference is the smallest, that is, guess the product price closest to iPad2, and Player B's bid amount is 1020 yuan. Higher than player A, so player B is the current winner.

As shown in the above situation, if player C is not the smallest because of the amount difference, the amount of the subscript is not considered, and player C does not win the bid.

As shown in the above situation, if the amount of player D is the smallest as player B, but the amount of the subscript must be higher than player B, player D still has not won the bid.

As shown in the above situation, if the difference between player E and player B is the same amount, the subscript amount is higher than player B, so player E wins the bid.

As shown in the above situation, the player can repeat the bidding again with the same identity until the system is set to the full quota. The current bidder will be converted to (the final winner), and the system will automatically prompt the player why the bid is not awarded. Game fun.
