Abstract

Disclosed are various embodiments for optimizing prices of items using current offers. Numerous current offers to sell an item are determined from a subset of sellers in an electronic marketplace. Each one of the subset of sellers is associated with a respective reputational score that meets a minimum threshold. A competitive price is generated for the item based at least in part on an average marketplace price determined from the current offers.
