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 :)
