            This ystem aims to implement a secure and discret environment to conduct auctions. It will allow bidders in an auction hoouse to receive pictures an information from the auctioneer over bluetooth connection. The bidders will be equipped with WinCE PDAs and the auctioneer would have a laptop. The auctioneer would be able to send tne relevant image and information of the current item up for bid to all the potential bidders present in the auction house on a wireless network. The potential bidders then summit their bids to the auctioneer’s laptop which acts like a server. The connections between the bidders and the auctioneer will be made on an ad-hoc basic according to the preferences of the bidders. This can applied in all auctions worldwide.
