    Default Newbie question. Can this be used for a consignment store or auction site?

    I am very much a green horn and exploring the notion of opening an online store and this is one I heard good things about. I'm wondering ...

    Does this software have the capability to follow a consignment store model?

    Can it be used as an auction site in some capacity?

    Even though I will probably go with OSCMAX I was wondering if there are some good open source based solutions for consignment shops and auction sites?

    I bet there is a better place for this question but this is also my introduction. Newbie question. Can this be used for a consignment store or auction site?

    The auction model - would you be using ebay? There are connectors such as this

    The consignment store - is there where people sell to each other and you are simply the facilitator? If so there is a custom product builder but I suspect you may find this slightly restrictive ... are you looking to allow all and sundry to list or just a small group.

    If it was a small group then you can allow them access to the catalog section through user group levels. If it was everyone then it may be more complex.

    Thanks! The thing is, I don't know what kind of response I would have but I should hope for a big one or what's the point, so I think the all and sundry way is how I should go, and so I will check out the "... Builder" link you posted. Thanks a lot.
