Refurbished laptop E-Commerce

[Lucky7CompSolutions]

I have started buying second hand laptops and we are also a Microsoft refurbisher partner, I would like to build a nice web store nothing fancy so we can show what stock we have in, does anybody have a recommendation on a nice e-commerce solution for us.

Are you going to simply display the stock or you want to be able to sell those via the website? Many providers allow you to create your own website for ecommerce or you can use platforms like magento for building your own.

Both really, I have tried these all in one web shops but there not what I am looking for.

depends on how much you want to spend?

<£1000 you will be better installing an opensource cart system (opencsrt, prestashop etc)
>£1000 pay a developer

OpenCart would be my recommendation.

If you have a bit of web knowledge you will be able to make look & do as you want pretty easily.

Pop this into your htaccess (apache) if you want to send them all to www or vice versa....up to you.

If you're part of the Microsoft axis you might be interested in ecommerce software to run under the Microsoft platform, we've just released the latest version of our free open source asp.net shopping cart platform. See my sig for details or download from Microsoft...

If you haven't got any web design experience and want minimum hassle, then choose a platform such as Goodsie or Shopify. Although they require a monthly fee, they're very easy to use. Alternatively, Magento or Opencart are great if you have design experience as you can customise them extensively with developer plugins.

Played about with oscommerce but could not get on it to much back end stuff and is complex lol so I am now trying open cart.
