Municipal securities broker's brokers use a method for obtaining market prices for securities which is unique to the municipal secondary market. This method is referred to as "Bid Wanted", a blind auction-style process wherein a dealer asks a municipal securities broker's broker to gather bids from the interdealer market on a specific security so the dealer or ultimate owner (customer) may execute a sell or hold decision on their position.
