An item sharing machine is configured to receive share requests submitted by requesters and specifying numerical values accorded to the shareable item by the requesters. The item sharing machine determines a distribution of the numerical values and generates an allocation plan based on the distribution of the numerical values, which include a first numerical value accorded by a first requester. The item sharing machine determines an allocated percentage at which the shareable item is allocated to the first requester and selects an alternative percentage at which the shareable item is allocable to the first requester. The item sharing machine calculates an alternative numerical value accordable to the shareable item and causes presentation of a notification that the shareable item is allocable to the first requester at the alternative percentage, conditioned upon a future share request indicating that the alternative numerical value is accorded to the shareable item.
