There are many ways to use online auctions in the transaction of hand goods.

First of all, there is a one-to-many unidirectional online transaction method of used goods that a single seller is against one or more buyers.

The first method is a 1: 1 direct deal between a seller and a buyer through an open market or a used cafe online. This is most often used because it has the advantage of a simple transaction type and quick transaction progress.

The second method is the sale after the purchase of the used goods by the professional secondhand trader. In recent years, mobile operators have been providing sales services in the form of transactions that occur in transactions such as used handsets. In this system, they are able to sell and sell relatively high-quality used goods after purchasing and repairing their exact ratings through professional appraisers. In addition, there is a method of selling a high-priced electronic device through a used trader who considers the convenience of an individual seller through a 'one-click pre-purchase service' in an open market.

The third way is auction of used goods in online open market like 'Auction'. When a seller puts a commodity on an auction, a plurality of purchasers presents a variety of purchase prices, and a buyer who presents the most expensive purchase price among various offered purchase prices is finalized as a final purchaser and a transaction is concluded.

Hereinafter, the second-hand online auction method and system according to the embodiment will be described in connection with online auctions of second-hand two-way auctions of used goods among various online auction methods of second-hand transactions.

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of a method and system for auction a second-hand used goods according to an embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, and the same characters have the same meaning.

1 is a diagram showing a configuration of a second-hand online auction system according to an embodiment.

1, the second-hand online auction system according to the embodiment includes a plurality of personal computers (PC) 10, which are connected to buyers or sellers of second-hand goods through the Internet 20, To-use bidirectional auction site for buyers or sellers of used goods on the web via the PC 10, and to the buyer or seller connected to the auction site via the PC 10, And an auction server 30 for providing an auction server 30.

Here, the auction server 30 determines the quality grade based on the self-criterion for each of the merchandise desired to be sold by the seller, which is used goods, and provides quality grade certification to the seller.

In addition, in the bidder auction system of used goods, the auction server 30 proceeds the auction / bid to the seller in the auction participation order and the buyer in the bid price auction order.

Here, the auction server 30 proceeds with the auction / bid taking into account the buyer's bid amount ranking first.

The auction server 30 makes it possible to award only the seller whose purchase quality level is higher than the buyer's desired quality grade. Accordingly, the auction server 30 allows the buyer to pay when there is no item satisfying the desired quality grade of the buyer, and to pay for the buyer who desires to purchase the quality grade corresponding to the sale second hand.

Next, a second-hand online auction method by the second-hand online auction system according to the embodiment will be described.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a second-hand bidirectional auction method according to an embodiment. FIG. 3 is a view showing the classification of the quality grade in FIG. 2, FIG. 4 is a view showing a display window displaying the member database, the second hand goods database and the transaction in progress exchange database in FIG. 2, Fig. FIG. 6 is a view showing an internal display window of the exchange of FIG. 5, FIG. 7 is a view showing an internal display window of the exchange filtered by the conditions of the quality grade or more of FIG. 6, Fig. 9 is a view showing the auction process of FIG.

As shown in FIG. 2, each of the second-hand buyers or sellers accesses the second-hand bidirectional auction system provided by the auction server 30 via the PC 10. Then, the buyer or the seller connected to the second-hand bidirectional auction system registers a member and logs in the second-hand bidirectional auction system (S10).

Thereafter, the auction server 30 determines whether the sellers want to sell used hand goods (S20).

In the case of Yes, the auction server 30 determines the quality grade for each of the sellers desired to be sold (S22) and provides the seller with the quality grade certification (S24).

Preferably, prior to the sale of the article, the seller delivers the desired second hand to the second-hand bidirectional auction system operator for quality grade authentication of the second hand. The operator determines the quality grade of the desired second hand goods to be sold by the seller on the basis of its own standard, and provides the seller with quality grade certification via the auction server 30. In addition, the authentication of the above-mentioned quality level can also allow the authentication of a company or an expert affiliated with an auction system operator. Here, when the auction is ended and the auction is made, the authenticated article is delivered to the auction server 30, that is, from the auction system operator to the auctioneer. Through this process, reliability can be given to the grade of the goods traded in the second-hand bidirectional auction system by the auction server 30.

Next, in the case of No, the buyer or seller who is logged in to the second-hand bidirectional auction system proceeds to search for an exchange containing desired transaction information such as a desired second hand transaction (S30).

Here, the auction server 30 searches the range by product category, quality grade, price, etc. in order to secure a buyer or a seller of a plurality of used goods in consideration of the characteristics of the used goods whose transaction volume is smaller than that of the ready- It is possible to subdivide the used database to make it possible. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the quality grade of used goods can be subdivided into S grade, A grade, B grade, C grade, D grade, and non-sale grade. The grade A is an unopened or unused item, and the grade A is an item or an article exhibited several times after opening the desired second hand. In the grade B, It is an article that has been used for several months or a product that has scratches below a predetermined standard. The grade C is a product used for one year to two years after opening the product or a product having some scratches, and the grade D is a product used for sale for two years or more, And the non-sale grade is that the desired secondhand article is the main non-functional article.

In addition, the auction server 30 can be used not only in a member database (DB) of a second-hand bidirectional auction system, a hand goods database, Similarly, exchanges in transit are converted into databases.

As shown in FIG. 5, the auction server 30 may include an item name, a quality grade, a bidder number, , Quantity of sale, maximum bid price, optimal bid price, remaining auction period, etc. can be displayed on the exchange search screen.

As shown in FIG. 5, the exchange internal screen displayed by clicking on one of the exchange-traded exchanges in the database includes, as shown in FIG. 6, a seller, a buyer, The order of participating in the auction, the quality grade, the desired quality grade, the bid price, etc. of each of the sellers or the buyers. In addition, the exchange internal screen can be filtered and displayed for all the exchanges on a condition-by-condition basis. As shown in Fig. 7, the intra-exchange internal screen can be filtered and displayed for all the exchanges on condition of any one quality level or more, for example, "B grade or higher" For example, "A grade" for each grade.

Then, the auction server 30 determines whether there is an exchange including transaction information of a buyer or a seller (S40).

If the buyer or seller clicks on the appropriate exchange, the auction server 30 displays an intra-exchange screen and proceeds to bid and bid through the exchange (S50). Preferably, as shown in FIG. 6, on the intra-exchange screen showing the auction participation order, the quality grade, the desired quality grade, the bid price, etc. of the seller, the buyer, the seller or the buyer of the sales item in the exchange, You can click on the "Transaction New Bid" button to bid and bid. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, bidding and bid can be performed by clicking the "deal new bid" button on the intra-exchange screen filtered by the entire exchange on the condition of at least one quality grade, for example, " .

Herein, the bidding and the bid may include a plurality of bids for both the seller and the buyer, since the number of the eligible exchanges is not limited. In this case, if bidder's sales item or purchase condition is different from initial exchange condition, bid can be possible if same brand name is the same. In this case, since different conditions of participating traders are added, By increasing the range, a plurality of traders can participate in the auction. Preferably, as shown in FIG. 6, in the intra-exchange internal screen displaying the auction participation order, the quality grade, the desired quality grade, the bid price, etc. of the seller, the buyer, the seller or the buyer of the sales item in the exchange, The seller can click on the "Add another condition" button to add different conditions to the participating traders.

In addition, it is possible to display the estimated winning bidder at the end of the current transaction in real time, and to display the estimated bid price on the intra-exchange screen and the search screen.

On the other hand, in the case of No, when the buyer or the seller clicks the "open new exchange" button on the exchange display window shown in FIG. 5, the auction server 30 opens an exchange with no limit on the number of participants (S45).

At the time of establishing the exchange, the auction server 30 receives a product name, quality grade, auction start price, auction period, multimedia data related to use of goods and goods, etc. of the auction item to be registered from the buyer or the seller, Establish an exchange with the characteristics of the item other than the photograph of the goods.

At this time, the buyer or the seller can open a plurality of exchanges with different auction conditions for the same goods through the auction server 30. 8, the sellers click on the "Register New Product" button on the internal screen of the exchange filtered through the entire exchange for each quality grade through the auction server 30 to select a plurality of exchanges Can be opened.

In addition, the manager of the auction server 30 may open an integrated exchange with a semi-permanent auction period without restriction on the number of participants for one commodity according to market conditions or other conditions.

The bidding and bid processing of the exchanges is performed (S50). Here, the bidding and the bid are the same as those described above, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, and a detailed description will be omitted.

Subsequently, the auction server 30 determines whether or not the exchange auction period has expired (S60).

On the other hand, in the case of Yes, the auction server 30 proceeds the auction process. As shown in FIG. 9, the auction method is a method in which the seller proceeds the auction in the auction participation order and the buyer in the auction amount ranking, and the buyer's preference quality grade If there is no article satisfying the buyer's desired quality grade, the buyer is paid. If there is no buyer who desires to purchase the article of the quality grade corresponding to the item to be sold, the seller is paid.

The auction server 30 confirms the auction participation order and the quality grade of the seller of the exchange (S70) and determines whether the buyer's grade condition is satisfied (S80).

In the case of Yes, the winning bidder is paid (S90), the winning bidder's payment process is performed (S100), the awarded merchandise delivery process is performed (S110) The process of paying the commodity to the seller proceeds (S130) and the transaction is terminated.

If there is a complaint about the quality grade of the hand goods received by the successful bidder, the multimedia data related to the quality grade of the goods is recorded by the customer complaint method and registered in the server, and the multimedia grade data related to the quality grade And if it is judged that the data of the seller which was originally registered through it does not sufficiently reflect the quality grade of the hand goods, it can be refunded or discounted through negotiation with the seller.

On the other hand, in the case of No, it is judged whether or not the next article exists (S82).

If the answer is No, it is requested (S83), and whether or not another transaction is proceeded is determined (S84).

On the other hand, in the case of Yes, the process of confirming the auction participation order and the quality grade of the seller of the exchange is performed (S70).
