Virtual signing events

1 . A system whereby an individual applies a signature to an item, the system comprising:

a processor;

memory encoding instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

establish, by the processor, a first video connection with the individual;

establish, by the processor, a second video connection with a customer;

connect, by the processor, the first video connection to the second video connection to facilitate a virtual face-to-face interaction between the individual and the customer;

display signing of at least one item by the individual during the virtual face-to-face interaction; and

facilitate shipping of the at least one item to the customer.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the memory encodes further instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to schedule a session with the customer such that said individual is obligated to interact with the customer during the session.

3 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the memory encodes further instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to auction the session.

4 . The system of claim 3 , the memory encodes further instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

offer a plurality of sessions at the auction; and

allow the customer to bid on one or more of the plurality of sessions.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the memory encodes further instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

offer a predetermined price;

bid a highest price within a predetermined time frame initiated by a first offer being made; and

bid the highest price within the predetermined time frame initiated by a session being posted.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the memory encodes further instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to provide a certificate of authenticity.

7 . The system of claim 6 , wherein the memory encodes further instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

populate a date and a time of the signing on the certificate of authenticity; and

populate a location of the signing on the certificate of authenticity.

8 . The system of claim 6 , wherein the memory encodes further instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

incorporate a picture of the at least one item on the certificate of authenticity; and

incorporate a picture of the individual on the certificate of authenticity.

9 . The system of claim 6 , wherein the certificate of authenticity is digital.

10 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the memory encodes further instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

generate a unique code identifying the at least one item;

cause the unique code to be placed on the at least one item; and

cause the unique code to be placed on a certificate of authenticity.

11 . A system whereby an individual applies a signature to an item, the method comprising:

establishing, by a processor, a first video connection with the individual;

establishing, by the processor, a second video connection with a customer;

connecting, by the processor, the first video connection to the second video connection to facilitate a virtual face-to-face interaction between the individual and the customer;

displaying signing of at least one item by the individual during the virtual face-to-face interaction; and

facilitating shipping of the at least one item to the customer.

12 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising scheduling a session with the customer such that said individual is obligated to interact with the customer during the session.

13 . The method of claim 12 , further comprising auctioning the session.

14 . The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

offering a plurality of sessions at the auction; and

allowing the customer to bid on one or more of the plurality of sessions.

15 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

offering a predetermined price;

bidding a highest price within a predetermined time frame initiated by a first offer being made; and

bidding the highest price within the predetermined time frame initiated by a session being posted.

16 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising providing a certificate of authenticity.

17 . The method of claim 16 , further comprising:

populating a date and a time of the signing on the certificate of authenticity; and

populating a location of the signing on the certificate of authenticity.

18 . The method of claim 16 , further comprising:

incorporating a picture of the at least one item on the certificate of authenticity; and

incorporating a picture of the individual on the certificate of authenticity.

19 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the certificate of authenticity is digital.

20 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

generating a unique code identifying the at least one item;

causing the unique code to be placed on the at least one item; and

causing the unique code to be placed on a certificate of authenticity.
