Objective ------------ To create the most practical, intuitive, most deliciously-interfaced, fastest, stablest, most customizable software solution to manage auctions, esp. eBay-certified. Cost ------ Since i have no idea what such an appl could cost in terms of programming, i used the lowest budget. I am willing to share in the profits of software sales! I am a designer and eBay seller, can help cut on resources by helping conceive features & develop interface etc. License ------ The finished app is my copyright. It requires a site in the likes of [login to view URL] or [login to view URL], but that's another project. For now, i'd like to know how much such a project would cost me, as an individual. If i could create my own software, as current services suck, i wouldn't want to spend time & money, without sharing it, commercially.

## Platform
- MacOS X - Windows XP/Vista If you don't know what Apple MacOS X, requires for programming, please see: [login to view URL] For developer FAQ see: [login to view URL] For developer tools see: [login to view URL] It's an intuitive programming language. Or you can choose to port a Windows application pretty easily with Apple's - though i recommend coding for the Mac from scratch to take advantage of the full power that is MacOS X - a Unix-based system! In any case, a dual-system software would be even better. One that works on OSX & Windows for maximum leverage.
