A method for auctioning stock to a purchaser or by a brokerage using a full-time public network, including several steps. A connection is established ( 160 ) to a full-time public network. Brokerage or brokerage criteria received via the full-time public network is accepted ( 162 ). Risk analytics is performed ( 164 ) to facilitate identification of acceptable bidders. At least one bid is accepted ( 166 ) from at least one acceptable bidder via the full-time public network. Each accepted bid is evaluated ( 168 ) based on the purchaser or brokerage criteria to determine whether the bid satisfies the criteria. At least one bid is selected ( 170 ) as a winning bid determined to satisfy the purchaser or brokerage criteria. A system for matching brokerages and purchasers includes at least one brokerage computing system ( 212 ), at least one purchaser computing system ( 216 ), and auctioneer computing system ( 218 ) having several operating modules.
