Run your own online Auction Service

EZAUCTGNIE - the Easy Auction Site Generator - Created by Manny to use EveryAuction from EverySoft to offer Auction Site Hosting, modified by Ivana with more features and abilities. After you install this script at your site, you offer your guests the ability to create their own Auction Sites. From time to time, I will make modifications to the script and will be placing it online for you to test out somewhere. At this time there is no sample of this auction online. You can see a running auction server at RootsSearch.net
