Ryan,

Don't build your own. There are so many good things out there for free. It seems like you just need a simple cart that accommodates easy database entry. Like XCart, or OSCommerce, or the one others mention on this list.

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
