As far as I know, apart from the eBay integration, there is not something ready out of the box.

Kind regards,

Jacopo

Re: AUCTION Engine

c.schinzer
All,

Funny that you ask. Did I not just send out the very same inquiry to the
list on Friday 20th?
I wonder whether that mail has ever gotten to the list.

Can anyone just quickly feed back to me whether that email ever left my
system here?

BTW Abhijeet, I would be interested to participate in coding efforts if
required. I would need a non-ebay-type auction pricing, i.e. not a
time-bound deadline for bids.

Moreover it would be good to also integrate a "directional" configuration,
i.e. not only allowing to bid higher prices but actually also lower ones
(e.g. to get the best price for a certain offering).

Thanks & regards


Carsten

Seems like an interesting feature to add to the system for sure -  
probably another special purpose app, eh?

Yeah, sometimes the mailing list works like a restaurant. If you walk in
the restaurant and ask "Does anyone in here own a red Honda?" you can
assume no response means no one in there owns a red Honda.

Re: AUCTION Engine

In reply to this post by Tim Ruppert
Hm. Actually, It's rather a specific service I would think, than a full app.

It could be integrated into the regular shop approach, i.e. catalogue of
products, just the product using a different pricing type called e.g.
"AUCTION" or "BID".
Well this is just thinking aloud to be honest. I have no good insight yet
into the pricing mechanisms offered, but I thought it's rather an extension
to that.

More thoughts welcome! Abhijeet, what is the algorithm that you will
require? E-Bay-style?

Regards

Carsten

OK guys, I think I got it now.

In reply to this post by c.schinzer
Hi Carsten,

Not exactly ebay style.
i would like to have auction engine which has both time bound and expected
price (not the minimum price) of the product is reached.

Still in discussion stage that how it will work and all. Will let you know
as soon as it will be clear.

BTW, what is model which you will be following? And what are the plans to go
ahead with it.

Thanks,

Abhijeet Pandey

Re: AUCTION Engine

Abdullah Shaikh-3
In reply to this post by c.schinzer
I think Tim is right in saying it should be an another special purpose app.,
but when I read that "just the product using a different pricing type called
e.g. "AUCTION" or "BID", I was confused ..and didn't thought on it much as I
was busy with some other issues.

But what I feel is it will be better if we can have another component for
auction, as the it can get quite complicated

The reasons why I fee this is :

1) Recenlty there was a mail from someone regarding the entities created it
database, I mean if someone is not using Auction, than too there will be
entities related to Auction, I guess we can avoid this by having this as a
separate component, if not required the user can just not load the component

2) This will keep the Auction this separate, I guess this would avoid
unnecessary complexity in ecommerce

3) I don't know if the effort has started, but there was a discussion on
making the components independent & using maven script.

Can't think of any more points :)

As you will be developing the Auction thing, I guess, from scratch, it will
be better if we keep these things in mind.

Above all are my thoughts, maybe I am missing something or have not paid
much attention to details.

Let me know your thoughts ... I guess these points applies to all new
components that we will be making in future.

Thanks,
Abdullah

Where to put it depends on how people want to use it. For example, if you want to be able to build a site that has a mix or purchase and auction items then having it developed as separate apps would be rather inconvenient.

On the other hand, if they were developed as a single application and items showed based on configuration then it would still be easy to have sites that do only purchase or auction items.

Re: AUCTION Engine

Tim Ruppert
Having it as a special purpose app, does not mean that you couldn't  
use it in other apps.  Keeping them separate really depends on the  
design and how they'd be utilized - both independently or as a part of  
ecommerce.  Personally, I'm looking forward to seeing more ideas  
around how it might be used so that that decision can be made.

Cheers,
Ruppert

Re: AUCTION Engine

c.schinzer
Well, it may sound naive:

My first idea was to extend into
applications/product/servicedef/service_pricepromo or add a
service_auctionpricing there.
Consequently, in product-definition one could use somthing like e.g.
<ProductPrice productId="myProd" productPricePurposeId="AUCTION"
productPriceTypeId="START_PRICE" ... />
etc. with different price types.

Is that totally weird, too simple, the right path?
Let me know your thoughts ...

Carsten

Re: AUCTION Engine

c.schinzer
Oh sorry, Tim, I like to think of a very flexibly configurable service which
can be used for the following auction scenarios:

*Pricing*

   - fixed start price
   - fixed end price
   - fixed bid increase amount
   - bidding for highest amount (sales scenario)
   - bidding for lowest amount (bids scenario)

*Termination
*

   - fixed end time (ebay style)
   - maximum period of no higher/lower counter-bids
   - expiry for unreached target price

*Payment*

   - pay total price
   - pay own bid increases (often used in charity scenarios in order to
   reach higher prices)


For me, the auction engine itself is only part of the interesting
challenges. There is also (business) intelligence around it like e.g. bid
history, bid pricing analysis, ...

I can of course imagine combined scenarios where an ecommerce shop would
e.g. have an auction on exclusive prototypes for example of clothing while
the regular sales will be on the regular catalogue stuff (acutally, I do
have a customer where this is a use case that we want to realize soon).

I am sure there is more, so I am curious what else we may be coming up with.

Let me know, I am happy to track these requirements on a document moving
forward so we can start to design this.

Kind regards


Carsten

Re: AUCTION Engine

David E. Jones-2

That's a pretty good list of parameters and options for general auction functionality. I agree there is no need to develop it for a specific style of auction when it is fairly easy to parameterize and support a variety.
