Hi Sam,

I would like to be able to run a private (invited guests only) auction
instead of having to use a public auction site like ebay.

Cheers,

Chris

Hi Chris,

I have researched the auctions case. It is quite possible to implement
auctions on top of ofbiz without modifying the data model. However it
all depends on how far would you like to go :)
Some of the services need to be  modified or skipped at all. But in
general no changes to any tables would be necessary, which  means you
could still use accounting OOTB for example.

If you could be a little bit more specific with your requirements than
perhaps I could be more specific with the hints :)

Cheers,
Deyan

Hi Deyan,

I don't have any specific requirements, just a couple of potential clients
that are interested in running their own auctions.

What stage are you with building auction fuctionality in ofbiz - do you have
an implementation?

Many thanks,

Chris

Hi Chris,

I haven't done any implementation. All I did was a research if it's
possible to do it without or with small data model modifications.

The idea was to create a sales order for each sale, add an ORDER_ITEM
to the sales order and create an ORDER_ITEM_CHANGE on each bid.

This way we've got history, comments, etc.

The only trick here is that you need to receive the item into the
warehouse when you create the auction for that item, then you need to
reserve that particular item so you can be able to sell it when the
action is closed :)
