The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 8, wherein one or more attributes of the first indicator are in proportion to a purchase price of the first physical object. 13. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 8, wherein one or more attributes of the first indicator are in proportion to the offer price of the first physical object. 14. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 13, wherein the one or more attributes comprise size, brightness, color, intensity, or a combination thereof. 15. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 8, further comprising queuing offers from one or more unauthorized users for confirmation by an authorized user. 16. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 8, further comprising providing the offer to a marketplace. 17. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 8, further comprising modifying the first indicator designating the first physical object when local availability of the object exceeds a pre-determined threshold. 18. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 8, further comprising ordering shipping materials. 19. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 10, wherein the first ownership rights differ from the second ownership rights. 20. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 8, further comprising determining a location of the first physical object, and storing the location of the first physical object. 21. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors to perform acts comprising: causing augmented reality data to be captured from a camera;identifying, based at least in part on the augmented reality data, a pre-determined sell gesture made by associated with a user in an environment;at least partly based on identifying the pre-determined sell gesture, identifying a first object in the environment and a second object in the environment;generating a first indicator and a second indicator, the first indicator designating the first object in the environment and the second indicator designating the second object in the environment;identifying a selection gesture indicating a selection by the user of the first object from among the first object and the second object;associating the pre-determined sell gesture with the first object in a physical environment, wherein the pre-determined sell gesture comprises one or more motions that occur at least in part free from contact with other objects;at least partly in response to the associating:accessing ownership rights associated with the first object;determining, based at least in part on the ownership rights, that the user is authorized to sell the first object;determining an offer price at which to offer the object for acquisition at least in part by generating an estimate or projection of a value associated with the first object;using a projector disposed in the environment, presenting a visible indication at a location of the first object in the environment, the visible indication being projected onto or proximate the first object and indicating the offer price at which to offer the first object for acquisition; andgenerating an offer for transfer of one or more property interests associated with the first object. 22.
