  Next, the inventory vehicle trading support method in the above-described inventory vehicle trading support system will be described. In the following, a case where a used car dealer is a shop and a shop makes a request for a used car held by another shop in response to a request from a general user will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 4, it is assumed that the C shop receives a request a from the general user 1 who wants to buy a car and a request b from the general user 2 who wants to actually see the car. In addition, A shop registers a car with a general user price of 1 million, partition price of 700,000, and demo price of 800,000 c. B shop registers a car with a general user price of 1.5 million, partition price of 1.1 million, and demo price of 1.3 million. It shall be registered d. Here, if there is no car and car of the same specification that the general user is requesting in the C shop, request the purchase at the partition price of car through the above-mentioned closed site, and the car will be demo priced. Request rental. When there are these request e and rental request f, as explained in FIG. 4, by requesting transportation of the vehicle to the shipping company, the vehicle A is transported from shop A to shop C and from shop B. A car is transported to C shop. Here, if the business negotiation with the general user 2 is not established at the C shop, a request for transportation of the vehicle to the shipping company is made again, and the car is transported (returned) to the B shop.

  In this way, in this embodiment, it is possible to view the stock vehicle information held by each used car dealer through the closed site, and any of the used car dealer terminals 310 to 330 through the closed site. From now on, it is now possible to accept requests for partition prices, which are normal business sales prices for stock vehicles held by other used car dealers, or demo prices that can be considered for purchase after renting for a certain period of time. It is now possible to conduct business sales among used car dealers that did not exist, or to rent used cars to meet the demands of general users from other used car dealers for a certain period of time. It is possible to build a mechanism for sharing stock vehicles among used car dealers that are not connected.

  In addition, by constructing such a mechanism, it is not necessary for a small-sized used car dealer to have more stock cars than necessary, and the operation cost can be reduced. In addition, since it is possible to trade between used car dealers, the result is that the sales network for business sales can be expanded. In addition, because there is a demonstration price between used car dealers that allows a used car dealer to rent from another used car dealer for a certain period of time, there are other used cars to meet the demands of general users. You can rent from a used car dealer for a certain period of time and choose whether to return a used car or purchase at a demo price even if a negotiation with a general user is not successful This can reduce the risk for used car dealers. In addition, since it is possible to buy and sell between used car dealers at the partition price or demo price based on the stock car information held by each used car dealer, it can respond to various requests from general users. It becomes possible to respond promptly without any difficulty.

  For example, the present invention can be applied to a sales support system for a recycler.
