The present invention provides a computerized system and methods for conducting on-line auctions. One or more concurrent auctions for one or more lots of products or services may be conducted. A dynamic pricing mechanism allows bidders to view the price at which a lot is offered and to make a bid when the price is acceptable to the bidder. In some embodiments, the results of the auction of one lot affect the starting price, reserve price and other characteristics of auctions for subsequent lots. In some embodiments, the pricing of a lot may depend more generally on the demand for similar products. Mulitple stage auctions with declining price and rising price aspects are also provided.

L'invention concerne un système et des procédés informatisés de ventes aux enchères en ligne. Au moins une vente aux enchères concurrente pour au moins un lot de produits ou de services peut être réalisée. Un mécanisme d'établissement de prix dynamique permet aux enchérisseurs de visualiser le prix auquel un lot est offert, et de faire une offre lorsque le prix leur paraît acceptable. Dans certains modes de réalisation, les résultats de la vente d'un lot modifient le prix de départ, le prix de réserve et d'autres caractéristiques de ventes aux enchères de lots ultérieurs. Dans certains modes de réalisation, l'établissement du prix d'un lot peut dépendre plus généralement de la demande existant pour des produits similaires. L'invention concerne également des ventes aux enchères à étapes multiples présentant des aspects d'augmentation et de baisse de prix.
