An offer is a product listed for sale by a seller.
Verified buyers can bid on offers or accept them as listed to purchase them.
All documentation relating to the consignment on offer is verified by MSM.

An order is a product requirement listed by a buyer.
Sellers can bid on orders or accept them as listed to sell their matching product.

Product listings include an offer/order number, and identities are revealed during the contract phase.
You can filter offers/orders based on various criteria such as harvest season, price range, and more.
