A method and apparatus is provided for performing on-line registration over an open computer network (e.g., the Internet) of an item previously purchased by a customer. The method begins by receiving over the open computer network a request from the customer to register the purchased item. Next, a registration form is provided over the open computer network, which is to be completed by the customer. The registration form requests customer information such as an identifier identifying the purchased item. Upon receiving a completed registration form from the customer, a database is searched to generate a list of purchasable items. The selection of the list of purchasable items is based at least in part on the identifier that identifies the purchased item. Finally, the customer is provided with the list of purchasable items and an opportunity to purchase any one or more of the purchasable items.
