The invention relates to a method of holding auctions which take place in a computer environment, where a plurality of sellers (8) and bidders (3) may submit bids from local computers to a central computer (1), a so-called server which may e.g. be coupled via the Internet. The server (1) may offer a catalogue (5) to the indivudual bidders (3) who can then prepare, via their own computers, a prioritized list of the articles which they may possibly desire to buy. The auctioning system incorporates the certainty, via a list of purchase conditions, that a bidder does not risk buying too many articles, or that he will not spend too much money, in the same manner as is known from a traditional live auction. It is moreover noted that the auctioning system may be combined with an ordinary live auction. The auctioning form gives a very advantageous price formation which considers both sellers' and buyers' interests. Furthermore, the auction may take place entirely without geographical limitations. |
