hey visionedger,
i would be happy to quote this project for you. in addition to designing the software at a reasonable price i could assist in the marketing of it as well. incidently a previous client of mine sells standalone
silent auction software, and is currently ranked #3 & #4 in google (at least from where i sit) and #1 and #3 in yahoo.
since it sounds like what you are offering is a bit different from what this company does, i am sure we could work out a mutually beneficial arrangement.
you can contact me using my online form
here. and i assure you, the rights to the software would be entirely yours.
i hope to hear from you soon!
