METHOD OF PROVIDING BID PARTICIPANT RECRUITMENT AUCTION, AND COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM FOR THE SAME

摘要

PURPOSE: A method for providing a bid participant recruiting auction service and a computer-readable recording medium for the same are provided to enable a winning bidder to purchase an auction item at a much lower price than open market price even when the seller sells the auction item at auction at higher price than open market price. CONSTITUTION: An bid participant enters a bid price in a bid price inputting form on an active window of GUI and then clicks bid button(S291). The auction period is lengthened continuously for the duration of phased entry of bid price, and when the auction period is finished, it is checked whether the last bid price is higher than the selling price with minimum margin. If the last bid price is lower than the selling price with minimum margin, the auction is cancelled because there is no intention of selling and the auction on items such as a bicycle, etc. after the registration deposit that the bid participant made in step S250 and S260 is returned(S292, S293). The auction process may continue with the unchanged selling price with minimum margin and suggested opening bid or with a new setting after the auction process is returned to step S140 and a new selling price with minimum margin and a new suggested opening bid are set up(S296, S297). When the period of auction is finished it is checked whether the last bid price is higher than the selling price with minimum margin. If the last bid price is higher than the selling price with minimum margin, the last bid price is the final winning price and the last bidder is the winning bidder in this auction process(S294, S295).
