Abstract
The systems and methods disclosed relate to the buying and selling of products. More particularly, the systems and methods relate to providing all buyers with the cost savings benefit of economies of scale. Economy of scale benefits involve unit (product) cost reductions which result from increasing total unit output, or sales. Typically, as a seller sells more of a unit, the cost per unit will eventually decline. Such a system discourages initial buyers and rewards later buyers. The present systems and methods can provide economy of scale benefits to all buyers and sellers of products.
