<p>A system and related method are provided to generate and finalize a request for sale (RFS). The system controls commerce between buyers and sellers, which is transmitted over a communication network and initiated and driven by buyer bids. In a preferred embodiment, the system allows buyers to research products and financing terms, decide on a price they would like to pay for a product, and communicate an RFS either globally to all available sellers or to a select number of filtered sellers. The system then transmits the offer to appropriate sellers. The sellers have the option to accept a buyer's RFS or to counter the RFS with different parameters. When a purchase price has been accepted, a request for sale is finalized and a non-binding agreement to purchase terms is established.</p> |
