OnSale has been granted a broad patent for on-line auctions. I'm not an expert in Priceline's unique methods, but I would think that on-line auctions have several similarities - the buyer sets the price above the minimum bid price.

The best way to understand a patent is to study it's "claims" which are what establishes legal standing until contested. You can view patents on-line at IBM.com patents.ibm.com
