A business model/process is described for conducting business transactions over the Internet, allowing buyers to reduce the price of the selected product/service based on the buyer's performance during a collateral activity. Sellers offer the product/service within a specified price range, and buyers try to close the transaction at the lowest price offered by achieving a favorable score during the collateral activity. The ultimate price is determined based upon the buyer's performance during the collateral activity. The activity may be a video game, electronic board game, sports bet, card game, or any other activity, and may be performed against the seller, a pre-programmed software opponent, a computer opponent, another buyer competing for the same or a different product, a player participating as a player only and not as a buyer, or anyone or anything else. |
