System and method to optimally clear non-selling inventory

摘要

A seller desiring to sell items in an inventory configures seller filters which are then applied to the inventory to provide a filtered inventory. Buyers configure buyer filters to indicate items that they are interested in purchasing. A match is found within the inventory that falls within the parameters established by a seller and buyer. The match leads to a prospective transaction which may be revised by the seller and buyer prior to confirmation of the transaction. Participation by the seller and buyers is enabled over a network to facilitate and automate the transaction.
