The present system includes the additional capability of bundling multiple buyer s' requests to buy common items. The present system also includes the capability of enablin g both the buyers and sellers to modify the offers and bids, respectively. The bundling reduces the seller's transaction cost per item. The offer and bid modification capabilit y enables buyer's to participate in the reverse auction bidding process. Accordingly both the buyers and sellers actively compete for auctioned items.
