• one or more processors for executing program instructions and computer readable non-transitory media carrying program instructions, the program instructions executable by the one or more processors to:
• receive a search request for a target product;
• identify, in a non-transitory media, return products associated with the target product, the return products in said non-transitory media being in-transit from a prior purchaser to a seller of the return product, but not yet received by the seller;
• receive a purchase request selecting one of the return products, the purchase request indicating a subsequent purchaser for the selected return product;
• and
• issue an instruction to a courier in possession of the selected return product to route the selected return product to the subsequent purchaser.

A non-transitory computer readable media comprising instructions executable that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:

• identify, in a return product database, a first return product that is the same as a target product requested by a subsequent purchaser;
• cause to be displayed, at a computing device associated with the subsequent purchaser, details about the first return product and an incentive to purchase the first return product;
• and
• issue an instruction, to a courier associated with the first return product, to route the first return product to the subsequent purchaser, when the subsequent purchaser purchases the first return product.
