Abstract
In some examples, a service may rank a plurality of items in an item category based at least in part on sales information indicating quantities of various items sold within a geographic region. From the ranking, the service may select an item ranked higher than a threshold ranking to offer for delivery to buyers. The service may send, to a courier device, a communication indicating a quantity of the item to be picked up from a merchant that provides the item. Further, the service may send item information about the item to a plurality of buyer devices for presentation of the item information to buyers. In some cases, to avoid spoilage, if fewer than a threshold number of items are sold over a first period of time, the service may send, to the plurality of buyer devices, an indication that a price of the item is reduced.
