Creating an online auction site/marketplace
I am not a programmer, but rather someone looking for a programmer to build an online auction site with some specific features for my industry.  It's a marketplace of perishable product, with prices that vary according to many factors, including seasonality affecting supply.  Accordingly, I could easily see a futures market emerging from this, so the platform should be providing the data meaningful to make this happen. I think an open source solution might be best, and am wondering if anyone knows which is the best solution for my needs and if anyone has the ability to give me a quote on actually doing the  work.

Best,
