Well, I plunged in and bought it for our forum.

My experience with Lionel was very positive. He helped me fix a problem with emailing of bids and it turned out not to be his program's fault at all but Yahoo email deferring email from our site.

The software seems to work very nicely. I would change a few features if I could, like the ability to allow the lister to select how long the listing will run rather than doing it by category, but overall, it was what my users wanted, and that is what counts!

Thanks, Lionel.

By the way MicroHellas aka Maria aka ChrisTeris transferred all her scripts rights to me today. Once I go thru them and convert them to 4.2.0 I will be adding 17 more scripts to my already large collection of 26

Unfortunately you set the price for xx days per category. But the auction automatically closes when owner at any time set a winner or someone performs a Buy it Now. At expiration a cron sets the higher bidder above reserve as the winner.

I think it's better to set a price for a specific amount of days. Why would someone pay for 30 days and set his duration for 7, specially when during those 30 days he could terminate at any time.

And after xx days he could also extend his listing.

I created two categories for each category- one for a 7 day auction, and one for a 3 day auction. So if you want to sell a machine, you choose either machine- 7 day auction or machine- 3 day auction.

I would like to talk to you about one of Chris' scripts I bought and had issues with. If it can be fixed and improved, it could be a very nice product. I will PM you on that.

Come to my site and let's talk about it so I put it on top of the list. Unfortunately I am a bit busy now a day. I just picked up a rather large account, a pharmaceutical company with 300 servers world wide with multiple wharehouses in the US and they are keeping me busy with one project after another one, from barcoding to iphone APPS. They are using IIS and I introduced them to vBulletin and they fell in love with it.

The short of it... We don't want to see stuff you've already been bickering over posted here on this site, simply not needed as this is not a discussion board for what you feel someone did right or wrong it's a discussion board about vBulletin modifications.

Only for those who are looking for a simple solution, I'll release tomorrow a mod for General Classifieds (For Sale, Wanted, For Trade, Free Offers). If you're looking for heavy solutions like my previous one (MarysClassifieds), this is not for you, as it has only 10% of those features. The good news is that this "10%", is covering the features that the average forum owner wants.

Why I'm saying it? Because I tried to use my old mod in a site that I'm operating for my small town (around 10 ads per day), and I found it so difficult to operate it. That's why I wrote from scratch a slim version... very slim... but it covers 100% of my site's needs.

Will you by chance make this for 3.8?

Sorry if I'll disappoint you, but as I wrote, I coded this for my own use, and I'm using vB4. But I'll gladly give permissions (for free) to anyone who has the knowledge to port it to vB3. The admin area code is compatible between vB3 and vB4. The frontend needs modification. As I know the vb3 coding style, it does not needs more than 1-2 days of work.

Has nobody here used Enthusify for classifieds? :?

Here is a marketplace / classifieds mod for vBulletin:

vBulletin classifieds mod for v. 3.7.x
vBulletin classifieds mod for v. 3.8.x
vBulletin classifieds mod for v. 4.x

At this second (May 10, 2013), the classifieds mod for vB 5 is in beta.

Here are some examples of vBulletin sites where this classifieds mod is live:

Belly dancing marketplace
Used Porsche parts marketplace
Used BMW parts marketplace
Used winter sports marketplace

The mod has the ability to synchronize the marketplace gallery with subforums dedicated to classifieds.

Example of threads powered by the mod for the winter sports marketplace referenced above.
