Zusammenfassung:	Embodiments consistent with the present invention enable multiple users, who are members of an associated communication context, to collectively purchase one or more goods or services. One embodiment relates to a method of performing a collective purchase of one or more items, which may be goods and/or services, by a set of multiple users. The one or more items to be purchased are recorded at a collective-purchasing server, and the record(s) of the one or more items may be associated with a reference to the communication context. A user may be authorized to add to, remove from, and modify the one or more items to be purchased by determining if the user is a member of the set of multiple users. Amounts are established that authorized users are to pay as part of the collective purchase. Other embodiments, aspects and features are also disclosed.
