Ernie's BF Auction Software

This is a real time EveryAuction © based online Bidflux v1.19 GPL  Perl Auction Software Package, NOT an affiliate website. It's fully functional online web software to start your very own professional online auction web site. The auction software was designed to be customer friendly, with a clean professional design, and very many similarities with that of eBusy itself.

BF v1.19 Auction Software is based on the EveryAuction© Release Version 1.53 by Matt Hahnfeld. Beeing a rewrite of a Makebid EA Derivate , Main HTML Design came from Joel Holbert (former BIDFLUX) himself. Add-On's & Mod's, found at the former EveryAuction User Forum, where added. Latest Security Updates have been implemented by Ernie before releasing the final Package. Pages look good, and it all matches well.

From the Programmers View, Sourcecode placement in all MakeBid based Sscripts looks weird and even contains some mistyping, the Coding is rather "lenghty" and so uses considerable Server Power even to produce simple HTML Pages. But due to the still "transparent" HTML Source Code Style used by Joel, anyone capable of writing HTML Source will be able to "clean out" the Scripts from unneeded print" "\n; statements..

Users can make a real time payment to their account using online merchants like PayPal.com, 2CheckOut.com, or Authorize.net. The users account will, depending on the Merchat, be credited in real time reflecting the payment made to their accounting file. (User must have one of these merchant accounts to use this feature. They can be turned on or off in the configuration file.

The Webmaster/Administrator can also login to the Accounting Administration and select the Users account to view. There you can credit a Users account, delete a Users account, send an invoice to a User and much, much more...

After Release, the BF v1.19 Auction Software itself worked well and was quite popular, it was offered for a price of $299.00 as "Turn Key Offer". Then, after seemingly "ripping" a german MySql DB Version 3.5 Ultimate Auction  (also based on much EveryAuctionDB  Code) into, what he called, the new "Bidflux MySql Auction 2.0", Joel's Business Behavior came under heavy Fire . Bidflux then disappeared from the Scene. Too bad, because the Bidflux V2.0 Software was basically ready, but probably to complex (hundred's of Files &Templates) to "manage" for Joel. Or then, possibly, UA or it's german Affiliate tried to pull the (legal) Plug on Makebid.

So much to the infamous Bidflux History, one of the many Stories around Matt Hahnfeld's famous EveryAuction GPL Software.

BF Auction Software v1.1 is based on the EveryAuction© Release Version 1.53 by Matt Hahnfeld.
