You can always use the EADB (EasyAuction DB) from everysoft, instead of the auction.pl script I provided. It is a MySQL version of EveryAuction, but I have not tested it myself.

There are other auction scripts for vBulletin, but they are all paid hacks, and are quite expensive. The idea behind this one was to have an easy setup and interface with vBulletin, without the cost, etc.. The perl script I provided is less than 100 kb, but it is powerful, and only displays a few kb at a time, depending on what you are calling up in the script, so it is not very server intensive or bandwidth hungry. Also, all known security holes have been plugged in the script I provided, and I am not sure the same is true for a stock install of EADB (or the commercial auction scripts for vbulletin). I am not implying that any of those are insecure - I just don't have any hands-on experience with them. Security is number one with me, especially when it comes to things like this. I have personally made sure that all known security holes are plugged (such as high bidders being able to see the personal info about sellers at an auction end, even if the reserve was not met, etc.. ), and will continue to develop the script in that direction as needed.
