Abstract
An electronic commerce system of auctioning products on-line is provided. An auctioneer presents a list of available products to consumers. The products may be present to consumers using a web site. Customers are able to “vote up” as many products as they want. The product that the most customers have voted up will go to a “countdown” sale mode, where it gets progressively less expensive, for example one penny cheaper every second, until someone purchases the product. Once someone purchases the product, the next product with the most votes immediately replaced it and goes into countdown mode.
