Abstract
A method implemented by a first party to facilitate a sale by a second party of at least a subset of a set of items includes contractually committing, at a first time, to the second party to purchase title in the item subset, generating a displayable user interface accessible over a network to the second party, the user interface operable to allow the second party to input information describing the items, receiving the information over the network, and issuing via the network, at a second time of the first party's choosing and subsequent to the first time, a purchase order to the second party for the item subset. Alternatively, the purchase order may be issued by the second party at a second time of the second party's choosing and subsequent to the first time.
