It really isn't cheap, but you can't compare it with a new license!
Jelsoft can keep there price so low, because they have so many customers. For a custom piece of coding, prices can also go as high as this, simply because that's the price for the amount of work that's behind it.
Or would you work for 3$ an hour?
tend to agree. the only variable now is the quality of the software. i tried googling vbauction and found zero reference to it. vbauction.com was registered 2 weeks ago and pbjunkie.com was started in march. so very little history behind the software.
unfortunately, there is a zero refund policy. otherwise i wouldn't mind trying it out and let everybody know. now i am not sure if i should risk US$120...

vbAuction uses ultimate auction for the backend. Feel free to stop in and there's plenty of reference to it.
I don't think I have that much sitting around; if it was like 50 or 60 I would've considered; but 120... I'll pass... After all, we're purchasing an addon; not a new license.
You are correct. You are purchasing an addon but you might want to look at the features before you pass. Since the backend is ultimateauction ($300-400) I think the quality of the package and the testing that has went into it to make sure you get a bug free addon is well worth the $120 price tag.

I agree with this. For one of my sites, I spent about $140 for a user registration/billing script that was well worth it. If you have a large site where an auction may be a popular feature, $120 can more than pay for itself if you decide to charge like eBay does.
The reason I went with vbauction is because the backend is "tried and true", it integrates with the post-bit which allows you to get rid of the feedback forum for B/S/T forums. It even permits the member to enter feedback from the B/S/T forums, not just auctions.
trafix, where can I find more info about VB Trader? I went to evb and found only posts about it, but I would like to see a website with more info. Can you please post a link to it? Thanks.
oh, and

Yes, I would... I'm guessing you're not the WHT type
