Abstract:

An efficient system that embodies a method for securing a transaction for a position of a placeholder in a predetermined line is provided. The system facilitates the orderly exchange of the position in the predetermined line for something of value, such as money, by collecting buyer and seller exchange data of potential trading partners and determining an acceptable match thereof based on, at least in part, the exchange data collected. The exchange data may include buyer and seller (placeholder) information about the positions in the predetermined line that are desired and held, their respective offers for each position, and the time the positions and offers are valid for. The method may be adapted to prompt the potential trading partners of the acceptable match to consummate the transaction in becoming bona fide buyer and seller, and providing at least one mechanism for physically connecting the bona fide buyer and seller to exchange the position in line in accordance with their respective offers.
