<p>A method for facilitating a continous market auction to determine a true market price for a time-dependent consumer good (TDCG) or consumer collectible good (CCG) is presented in a cost-effective manner. An owner of TDCGs or CCGs registers (30, 40) the goods at a market nexus (20) where buyers (10) and sellers (11) can interact, preferably at an on-line website. The goods are auctioned at a starting market price, which continue to be available until a buyer demands physical possession of the goods or until a specified final closing date. Potential buyers and sellers having accounts at the market nexus can exchange the TDCGs or CCGs indefinitely, effecting 'a continuous auction' (40) without a buyer taking physical possession of the TDCGs or CCG. Each buy/sell transaction reflects the current and constantly updated market price, and is disseminated to all participating parties.</p> |
