A method and system are disclosed for making bulk groupings of various products and services available for purchase and sale by an individual or a business. The method includes grouping a plurality of commodities into a bulk bundle. A first price is then established for purchase of the entire bulk bundle. A second price can also be established to permit a consumer to obtain an option to purchase the bulk bundle at a future date. A suitable communication and transaction system, such as an Internet connection, can be used to establish a market in which the bulk bundles can be transferred between or among providers and consumers. The method and system therefore combine conventional trading elements with several new elements, including the concept of partial consumption, to provide a unique method that can be applied in a variety of product and service categories. The significant benefits of price discovery and automation of transactions associated with transfer of bulk bundle commodities are also provided to the consumer.
