Hi Ryan,
I've used osCommerce as a catalog before, but it's a bit of a pain to customize. ZenCart is supposed to be easier, but I haven't tried it yet. For the last project I did of this kind, I wrote my own catalog script and I feel a lot more comfortable with that.
I do realize that it'll require a bit more work to add a cart to a catalog like that in the future, though, unless you use something simple like the cart provided by PayPal, but it's PayPal only.

Hey all, I have a client who has a computer store, now he wants to put all his stuff in one site. He does not want to do any selling from his site, but just list all his items.
After looking via google and the the usual script sites, agora cart looks pretty good and easy to maintain, other choices X-Cart,oscommerce,phpcatalog
I dont really want to build this from scratch as I am sure a lot of very very good solutions are already out there and i would rather use the time instead to either tweak the software to his particular needs/requests
<request> for example: he wants a few lines and a picture(optional) of his product (eg: a HP printer) and when clicked on it should pop up a window with that products details. </request>
or cleaning up his design, digital snaps etc
I've never really worked on a site like this before so I would appreciate any recommendations you have towards a cart or catalog system thats has worked really well for you, or you heard is good or you helped develop etc I would like a cart/catalog that is open source (does not have to be free..but not expensive) so i can play with the code if need be. The reason i was leaning towards a cart is, if he ever decides to sell online, i dont want to build a whole extra piece of software to go with the catalog.
Thanks in advance, Ryan
