A countdown pricing method in which products are offered for sale at a displayed price that decreases as time elapses. If a consumer wishes to purchase the product, he or she communicates an offer price to the seller, or the seller's web site acting as the seller's surrogate, which then determines whether a sale can be completed. So long as there is at least one such product available, the offer price is greater than the currently advertised price and a lowest acceptable price and the sale has not expired, then the sale is completed. Preferably, the seller notifies the consumer of either the acceptance or rejection of the offer price.
