I wasn't even aware of anything but Ebay, but the client has seen sites that have online bidding. I just wanted to see what was out there, because I didn't have a clue and don't have the time to spend on creating something, unless there was software out there. He just wants something simple that people can leave bids. thanks, Lisa A
Nothing is simple. Have your client put up a billboard site stating what he wants to sell; with an email link to submit offers; and tell the people when he receives an offer that meets his requirement the item will be sold. If you want to get "tricky" about it so that a live auction ensues, then things get complicated. I have one site where the terms of the auction is that the auction doesn't end until two hours after that last bid -- it works for them.
