Reverse Auction Factory 1.0.0 released on August 28, 2008.

Reverse Auction Factory comes as a new product to complete our Auction Components Suite. 

The main difference in comparison to the Auction Factory is that with the Reverse version, end-users can post their requests in order to obtain the best price for needed services or desired products. This means that they can choose the lowest price or what they consider would be the best deal for them.

The component can be used to organize auction in different fields of interest. Here just a couple of examples:

• Freelancing (developers, programmers, designers.)
• Constructions (materials, architects, interior design, pools, etc.)
• Technicians (utilities, locksmiths, plumbers, electricians, etc.)
• many other branches.

In order to provide maximum flexibility to all the administrators, Reverse Auction also uses a template engine. Detailed informations about how to personalize the Reverse Auction Extension can be found here, in the Template Tutorial. 

Requirements:

• Joomla 1.0.x or Joomla 1.5.x Legacy Mode
• CRON (a general CRON Tutorial is available in our documentation section and also a more particular one regarding How To Set up the CRON Job for Auction Factory).

...the way to keep Auctions & Bids organized.
