Description

THE CONSIGNMENT SALE METHOD USING INTERNET
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a method of performing consignment sales via the internet, and more particularly, to a method by which a seller can sell goods without spending on advertising costs and a buyer can take the opportunity of buying goods at a minimum cost by selling the buyer an exchange gift certificate for the goods consigned.
Background Art Generally, sales have been performed by displaying goods on a display stand in a department store, an electronic shopping center, a traditional market and the like or through mail order sales from internet shopping sites and cable TV companies.
However, according to the traditional methods of selling the goods, the goods should be purchased by paying in cash, credit card or the like in a lump sum or allotments. There is therefore a problem in that the buyer cannot purchase desired goods at a low price as selling prices are increased by credit card commission, allotment interests, intermediary margin or the like.
Disclosure of Invention The present invention is conceived to solve the aforementioned problem. An object of the present invention is to provide a method by which a seller can sell goods without spending on advertising costs and a buyer can take the opportunity to buy goods at a minimum cost by selling the buyer an exchange gift certificate for the goods consigned from the seller.

FIG. 5 is a view illustrating the method of performing the consignment sales using the internet according to the present invention.
Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of a method of performing consignment sales using the internet according to the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG.l is a constitutional view of a system for embodying the method of performing the consignment sales using the internet according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is an entire flowchart of the method of performing the consignment sales using the internet according to the present invention. FIGS. 3 and 4 are flowcharts of the method in a case where exchange gift certificates are not sold within a sales period by their issued quantities in the flowchart of FIG. 2.
As shown in FIG. 1, the system for embodying the method of performing the consignment sales using the internet according to the present invention comprises a buyer- side internet terminal 1 used for buying the exchange gift certificates via the internet, a seller-side internet terminal 2 used for requesting the consignment sales, and a consignment sales server 3 used for selling the goods consigned from the seller-side internet terminal 2. The buyer-side internet terminal 1, the seller-side internet terminal 2 and the consignment sales server 3 are connected with one another via the internet.
First, the seller provides a consignee with a list of the goods including brand names, details on the goods, desired selling prices, total quantities of the goods and the like (S10). Thereafter, the consignee determines a selling price in which a predetermined price or commission is added or not added to the desired price of the goods, an issued quantity of the exchange gift certificates, prices of the exchange gift certificates, a sales period, drawing date and the like, and then generates a list of the exchange gift certificates (S20). Here, the goods may be all kinds of salable material and immaterial goods including movable property, real estate, securities, electronic home appliances, travel goods, insurance goods, and the like. In the case of general goods, the list of exchange gift certificates is made or generated on the basis of the goods list transferred from the consignor or seller. However, in case of either a real estate in which any documents (e.g., a certificate of real estate registration, land register, etc.) for determining as to whether legal defects exist in the real estate should be needed, or a movable property such as jewelry, a picture, calligraphy and the like in which a written statement of an expert opinion should be needed, a manager of the internet site for the consignment sales examines beforehand the real estate and the movable property and generates or makes a list of the exchange gift certificates on the basis of the examined results.
The consignee determines the selling price by adding or not adding a predetermined price, i.e. a commission for consignment sales, to the desired price of the goods supplied from the consignor. At ordinary times, the consignee gains a profit of the commission from the consignment sales by adding the commission to the desired price of the goods. Alternatively, in the case of special events such as big bargain sales, the consignee gains a profit by subtracting the commission for the consignment sales from the selling price of the goods and consequently increasing the sales rate. In addition, the consignee determines the price of the exchange gift certificates by dividing the selling price of the goods, which has been determined as such, by an issued quantity of the exchange gift certificates. For example, the exchange gift certificates may have different par values such as 5,000 and 10,000 Korean Won.
Thereafter, the list of the exchange gift certificates as shown in FIG. 5 is displayed to the buyer who has logged into the site for the consignment sales (S30). The list of the exchange gift certificates includes information on brand names, details on the goods, selling prices of the goods, the prices of the exchange gift certificates, the issued quantities of the exchange gift certificates, sales periods, quantities of the exchange gift certificates that have been already sold, drawing dates and the like. Preferably, the list of the exchange gift certificates may further include information on issue numbers of the exchange gift certificates, pre-examined information on the goods registered by the consignee in a case where the goods are real estates, and information on drawing methods.
Furthermore, since the list of the exchange gift certificates can be displayed with respect to the drawing methods, the prices, brand names and drawing dates according to the buyer's selection, the buyer can easily search the exchange gift certificates that he/she wishes to buy.
The buyer then selects the desired exchange gift certificates from the list of exchange gift certificates and deposits an amount of money corresponding to the price of the exchange gift certificates (S40). In such a case, when a desired exchange gift certificate is selected from the list by the buyer, the detailed information (e.g., a photograph, a moving picture, or the like) on the relevant goods is displayed onto a screen. If the buyer wishes to buy any of the goods, the buyer makes a purchase of the desired exchange gift certificates by clicking a purchase button on the screen and remitting the amount of money corresponding to the price of the exchange gift certificate using the internet banking.
In addition, the buyer can select a desired issue number of the exchange gift certificate when choosing the specific exchange gift certificate.
The consignee confirms as to whether the payment for the exchange gift certificate purchased by the buyer has been made (S50) and then compares the total quantity of the exchange gift certificates with the quantity sold (S60). In a case where the total quantity of the exchange gift certificates is equal to the quantity sold, i.e. all the issued quantity of the exchange gift certificates have been sold within the sales period, the sales of the exchange gift certificates are suspended (S70).
As shown in FIG. 3, if the total quantity of the exchange gift certificates is not equal to the quantity sold, i.e. all the issued quantity of the exchange gift certificates have not yet been sold within the sales period, the consignee informs the seller or consignor of the above fact (S90). The seller corrects the desired selling prices and sales periods for the goods and provides them to the consignee (SI 00), and the consignee corrects the selling prices and sales periods for the goods in the list of the exchange gift certificates based on the corrected ones (SI 10). As shown in FIG. 4, if the total quantity of the exchange gift certificates is not equal to the quantity sold, i.e. all the issued quantity of the exchange gift certificates have not yet been sold within the sales period, the consignee informs the buyer of the above fact (SI 20). The buyer provides the consignee with the selling prices and sales periods for the goods that the buyer wishes to buy (SI 30), and the consignee also provides the seller with the selling prices and sales periods for the goods that the buyer wishes to buy (SI 40). Then, the seller corrects the desired selling prices and sales periods for the goods and provides them to the consignee, who then corrects the selling prices and sales periods for the goods in the list of the exchange gift certificates based on the corrected ones (S100-S110). Next, the consignee transmits the information on the buyer selected on the drawing date to the seller and remits the amount of money corresponding to the desired selling price of the goods to the seller (S80). In such a case, the drawing of the exchange gift certificates is performed on a designated drawing date in an open place via an internet live broadcasting system according to the drawing method for the exchange gift certificates (e.g., the issue numbers of the exchange gift certificates).
The seller determines, on the basis of the information on the buyer selected on the drawing date, as to whether the goods can be delivered. If the goods are undeliverable ones (e.g., real estates, insurance goods and the like), the goods are transferred to the buyer through a direct visit. Otherwise, the goods are transferred to the buyer using a variety of delivery means.
As described above, according to the method of performing the consignment sales via the internet of the present invention, the buyer can have an opportunity for purchasing the goods with the inexpensive exchange gift certificates and the seller can sell the goods at a desired price within a short period of time.
Industrial Applicability
Therefore, the method of performing the consignment sales via the internet according to the present invention has an advantageous effect in that the buyer can have the opportirnity of purchasing goods at a minimum cost since the consignee who has been entrusted from the seller sells the buyer the inexpensive exchange gift certificates for the goods.
Further, the method of performing the consignment sales via the internet according to the present invention has another advantageous effect in that the seller can sell the goods at a desired price within a short period of time without spending the advertising costs.
Furthermore, according to the method of performing the consignment sales via the internet of the present invention, since a prizewinner or buyer bears all taxes resulting from the take over of the goods, collection of revenue can be ensured and sound commercial transactions can be activated. Thus, there is also an advantage in that it can work for national economic activities.
