Abstract: This paper examines the modeling of agents conducting transactions in a simulation that assumes a data distribution market for resalable items. In a subject experiment with resalable items, interesting phenomena were observed that cannot be explained by theory. However, due to the limitations of the subject experiments, the number of users and the types of items dealt have not been sufficiently discussed. We discuss the results of multi-agent simulation for a two-sided market data distribution platform with resale.
