20140330619 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR AUTOMATIC, PRE-SALE PRICE MATCHING - A method for automatic, pre-sale price matching performed by a computing device includes receiving a first price established by a first vendor for at least one of a good and a service. The method includes retrieving information including a second price, the information associated with an offer for sale, by another vendor, of the at least one of the good and the service. The method includes identifying at least one parameter of the offer. The method includes recalculating the second price using the parameter. The method includes determining that the first price is higher than the recalculated second price. The method includes automatically modifying the first price to be substantially equal to the recalculated second price. The method includes publishing the modified first price so a user may acquire the at least one of the good and the service at the modified first price from the first vendor without negotiation. | 11-06-2014 |
