A method and system for monetization of a priority queue are disclosed. Priority of an item in a queue remains in flux till the item exits from the queue. Priority of an item is based on bids associated with the item and may be additionally based on the number of bidders associated with the item, the resources required by the item, and the time the item spends in the queue. Bids on the items in a queue may change while they are in the queue. More than one person may bid to increase the priority of the same item. A bidder may even retract his or her bid while the item is still in the queue. |
