Determining and presenting product market prices

A method implementable in an electronic system coupled over a network to first and second electronic devices, the electronic devices being coupled to respective display devices, the method comprising:

• serving to the first electronic device a first web page displayable on a display device, the displayed first web page including a user interface operable to solicit from an individual of a plurality of individuals a current prediction of a plurality of current predictions of market prices of a product, said predictions being associated with a first predetermined time interval;
• determining an accuracy rating for each individual of the plurality based on a correlation between previous predictions provided by each said individual and actual market prices of the product;
• assigning to the product a price estimate associated with the first predetermined time interval, the price estimate being a function of the accuracy ratings and current predictions;
• determining a current sale price based on the assigned price estimate;
• serving to the second electronic device a second web page displayable on a display device;
• and
• effecting, via the second web page, a sale transaction of the product at the current sale price.
