In one implementation, a system is provided that comprises at least one network-communications interface that receives at least one offer for a good or service from a third party and an acceptance of the at least one offer from at least one of a plurality of user devices over a communications network. The system also includes at least one processor that executes a set of instructions to electronically present, over a communications network, the at least one offer to the plurality of user devices, wherein the at least one offer is presented at a time unpredictable to each user of each of the plurality of user devices and can only be accepted before the expiration of a limited duration that is preset according to a length of time or a quantity of goods or services.

Abstract: Computer-implemented systems and methods are provided for presenting sale offers over an electronic network system. In one implementation, a method may comprise storing, in a database, a sale offer including terms to purchase a good or service at a predetermined offer price, the predetermined offer price being a discounted price less than a market value of the offered good or service in a commercial marketplace. The method may also comprise setting, using at least one processor, parameters for presenting the sale offer, the parameters including a limited duration during which the sale offer may be accepted, the limited duration being based on an available quantity of the offered good or service. Further, the method may include presenting the sale offer to an individual who visits at least one website accessible over the electronic network system, the individual matching a targeted group of individuals.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for presenting sale offers to users of mobile devices. In accordance with some embodiments, a controller is used to set parameters for offering a sale offer. The parameters may include a limited time period during which the sale offer may be accepted while displayed on a mobile device, and profile information for targeting a group of users for receiving the sale offer. The sale offer may be presented on a mobile device of each user whose profile information matches the profile information for the targeted group of users. A sale may be completed with a user if the sale offer is accepted within the limited time period.
