BARGAINING THROUGH A USER-SPECIFIC ITEM LIST

摘要

Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for providing a vendor-independent item list to a computer user are presented. A vendor-independent item list is provided in which a plurality of computer users each have a corresponding item list upon which a computer user can add entries for various items offered by vendors. Upon receiving a user-initiated indication that the user would potentially like to add one or more items from a currently-viewed web page, a process identifies item information from the web page and presents the item information (including information for at least one item) to the computer user. Upon receiving a selection from the computer user of a presented item, an entry for that selected item is added to the computer user's item list. The computer user and one or more vendors can interact with offers and counter-offers.
