for the same or similar products of like condition. In one
embodiment, the user is free to use or ignore the suggested
price. In embodiments in which auctions are supported, a seller
may use the suggested price to (1) select a minimum price at
which bids are to be accepted, and/or (2) select a "buy it now"
price at which a buyer can immediately purchase the item. As
described below, marketplace system's user interface may
support the ability for a user to create a marketplace listing
(including specifying the selling price and condition), from a
product detail page or a purchase history listing, with a single
mouse click or other single selection action (emphasis added).

“Never Been Opened,” “Just Like New,” “Showing Age,” or the
like (emphasis added).

When we take account of the inferences and creative steps that a
person of ordinary skill in the art would employ, we conclude it would have
been obvious to a person of ordinary skill in the art at the time the invention
was made to improve upon the system taught by Shamoon by implementing
Dalzell’s improvements (as described above) because it would provide
Shamoon’s system with the enhanced capability of “assist[ing] potential
buyers in efficiently locating the marketplace listings for a particular
product” (Dalzell, ¶ 0013).
