Irvine, CA, December 20, 2005 --(PR.com)-- A new patent on dynamic pricing business method is issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office today as Patent 6,978,253.

Sellers will be able to utilize “priceplay” to dynamically price their products and services, and at the same time attract buyers to revisit or stick to their web sites.
