Abstract: Disclosed herein is system and method for sealed bid auctions through the implementation of computer device, wherein an auction includes sealed bids, assigning random IDs for undisclosed real IDs, and obtaining double confirmation from both bidders and vendors. Vendors may choose to have a reserve price such as an open reserve price and a conditional hidden reserve price. The system generates random bidder IDs and allows the bidders to self-determine into two different bidding categories, where one bidding category pays the full winning bid amount and the other bidding category purchases a “price-protection policy” that allows the recalculation of the final winning bid amount based on the “price-protection formula”, wherein the “price-protection formula” is calculated as a sum of the “price-protection fee”, the second-highest bid amount, and the amount from a pre-determined percentage of a difference between the highest bid amount and a second-highest bid amount.

Abstract: Disclosed is system and method for sealed bid reverse online auctions through remote computer devices according to a set of predetermined rules, where the reverse auction includes sealed bids, and assigned random identification numbers for auction bidders. The system allows bidders to opt into one of two different bidding categories. Category one requires payment of the winning bid amount. Category two requires a commitment to purchase a price-protection policy, allowing recalculation of the final winning bid amount based on a price-protection formula calculated by subtracting the price-protection fee from a sum of the lowest or winning bid amount and an amount equal to a predetermined percentage of a difference between a next lowest bid amount and the lowest winning bid amount. The system also allows for the allocation of at least a portion of the price-protection fee.
