According to this, each time an auction is held, it is necessary to move related parties and products. The transportation of goods may adversely affect the quality maintenance. In addition, it is often difficult for successful bidders to participate due to time and place reasons.

In this way, Internet auctions via communication means such as the Internet are spreading against auctions that go to the venue.
However, since Internet auctions do not eliminate anxiety, dissemination is not necessarily good. In particular, expensive articles such as fine arts are stagnant because there are many uneasy materials regarding authenticity, quality judgment, price distribution, and the like.

  That is, in the conventional net auction system, since the article can be determined only by the photograph, there is a problem in the safety of the product such as authenticity. In addition, since goods and prices are exchanged between parties, troubles may occur, and there is a problem in the reliability of price collection and product delivery.

Further, in the conventional net auction system, since the deadline is specified and the success / failure of the successful bid is determined, there is a problem in real time. Since the success or failure of the successful bid is determined only by whether the price is higher or lower than the seller's desired price, there was a lack of realism that the seller and the buyer were bargaining.
For this reason, the auctioneer lacked a means to boost the auction and improve the winning bid rate.
