Description

Kiosk system for the sale of exhibits and method of selling the exhibits using the same {Kiosk system and method for exhibition vending}

The present invention relates to a kiosk system for selling exhibits and a method of selling exhibits using the same, and more specifically, it is possible to sell exhibits without exhibitors or guides in the exhibition hall, and guides for exhibits are available. The present invention relates to a kiosk system for the sale of exhibits that can save cost and time since there is no need to provide a collection box and a method of selling exhibits using the same.

Current methods of purchasing exhibits, especially works of art, include online auctions and offline auctions by specialized auctioneers in separate auction sites. However, the Internet auction method has the disadvantage that you cannot see the real thing directly, and the offline auction method has the disadvantage that it is possible to auction only when there are professional auction companies, and to collect works of art in the auction house.

In addition, the above two methods are usually limited to works that have already been exhibited or have not been sold through the exhibition, and thus the disadvantages of not providing fresh buyers to buyers (visitors) and to artists (exhibitors) It has the disadvantage of having to go through a cumbersome process such as re-delivering the work or moving it to the auction house.

Therefore, the most desirable way of purchasing artworks can be said that buyers buy the works they want at the price they want by looking at the works (exhibits) directly in the exhibition hall. However, it is not easy for both the artist and the buyer to negotiate directly with the artist in the exhibition hall because of their own and each other's face.

Therefore, in the past, the artist puts a desired price tag next to the work (exhibition) in advance, and if the buyer is satisfied with the price, the purchase intention is revealed so that the transaction can be made. The sticker is attached so that no further bargaining is possible.

Therefore, the above-mentioned method has the disadvantage of depriving a buyer of a higher price for the work (already sold), even if there is a buyer who wants to buy it, and thus deprives the artist of a greater profit. It is a very irrational way to make it impossible to buy even if you want to have the work at a higher price.

In addition, if there is a buyer who wants to own the work but does not have enough money to buy the work, there is a buyer who really wants his work, and there will be a willingness to sell it regardless of price. In the case of works not sold at a predetermined price during the exhibition, you may want to sell them at a lower price. However, even in this case, it is never easy for the buyer and the artist to negotiate with each other directly.

Moreover, even though there are buyers who want to purchase the work, it is not uncommon for small exhibitions to be unable to sell because there are no artists or guides.

The present invention is to install a kiosk system in the exhibition hall, using the kiosk system, not only exhibitors or guides can be sold, but also exhibits for sale and purchase at the price desired by each other without the artist and buyer bargaining The purpose of the present invention is to provide a kiosk system and a method of selling exhibits using the same.
