Most are touted as offering transactions cost savings by reducing search costs, administrative costs and other transaction costs and also promise increased market transparency, liquidity and scale economies of joint production. Ownership and control may range from buyers groups through seller groups to independent third parties. Prices may be established and transactions effected by several mechanisms, e.g., auction, catalog, bid-ask, negotiation.
