auction

Hi there,

I am looking for a (or the) simple (simpler) solution to implement a basic E-commerce facility in my little property website see http://www.Mega-Quick-Sale.co.uk

The idea is simple, I will receive leads from people who want to sell their property quickly and I will try to resell these leads to property investors (note I don't buy or sell properties just leads). I am considering using auctions to sell the leads to the highest bidders.

Hello

A potential client recently approached me to ask for a quote on a site he wanted built. In short, the site is to be similar to http://ridesafely.com.

Ideally, I would prefer to base the site on Drupal. However, my quote will depend heavily on whether eCommerce has the capability and maturity to run auctions like would be needed here.

I have heard that auctions are a feature in the 4.x release. Is this true? And would the module be able to handle the type of auctions required here?

I appreciate any thoughts & comments!

I'm very much hoping this isn't a feature request for 4.8... I'll just explain my situation:

I'm making a fundraising auction site for a nonprofit arts center, and really all I want to do is add some attributes for the volunteers adding items to fill out in addition to the description, that is, have a field to enter the name of the person who donated the item, and another field for the estimated market value.

I thought it would be trivial to create my own product type based on the auction module and with an extra field or two, but it has not been!

I can see many reasons to add open-ended text fields in addition to one big block for "description" to products, so I hope someone has some experience or advice.
