Is CCK for me?
- Need custom input forms (to be used by end user)
- Need to display (and format a little) custom data entered by end user to other end users
I'm not sure if CCK only allows for the webmaster to enter custom data...
1. Could the end users enter data on a CCK form and submit to website?
2. Could user submitted data be displayed back on the front end?
3. Could user submitted data be easily (code-lessly) joined with another table and displayed?
Many thanks for your help.

Yes, CCK is for you,
Yes, CCK is for you, although I don't know what you mean by #3 exactly. CCK essentially creates a new node, which you can allow users to create. You can customize the way it displays with something like contemplate (or create a tpl.php file) as well as views. It's pretty unstoppable.
Awesome!
Thanx for the timely response... Let me clarify #3:
Two node types are created with CCK: AUCTION ITEM and BID
How can I link the two? Example:
A user can create an AUCTION ITEM and another user should be able to create a BID. How can I make sure the BID is place on the AUCTION ITEM?
