<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To promote correct closing bid price and prevent traffic concentration while suppressing sniping but leaving some enjoyment of bidding competition and sniping. <P>SOLUTION: A bid is accepted via a computer network (Step 21), and when a closing bid price at each time of bid acceptance is decided on the basis of the bid price of the accepted bid, a closing bid price decided at the acceptance of a bid priced over the previous highest bid price is a higher closing bid price as the bid acceptance is closer to an auction end (Step 27). For clients causing no bid acceptance, only limited information excluding information indicating closing bid price transition is provided as information about the auction item. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
