Abstract

A network sales method is disclosed that includes presenting price choices to a user for an item on a sales screen via a network. Available supply (12C) and sales activity (12B) level information about actions by other users for the item for which the price choices are presented can be converted into a feedback indication, and this indication can be conveyed to the user on the sales screen. A variable price schedule (12G) for the item can also be communicated to the user, and a reminder command (12D) associated with an entry in the schedule can be received from the user, with the reminder command including a price selection for the item. The user can then be notified when the entry in the schedule is reached.
