Description
Hi,
I am about to embark on a project to create a site where multiple vendors can sell their products either via auction or at fixed price. From my understanding it seems that I would have to combine the Marketplace module and the Auction module.
I have a few questions:
1) Is this possible?
2) Is the newest version of marketplace 6 stable enough to be used in a new development. What are the features that are available in 5, but not in 6?
I'm new to Drupal, but I do have a little PHP knowledge, and I don't want to start something that will I will get stuck on :), this is a big enough challenge as it is.
Thank you in advance for your help and advice

Let me try and respond with my limited knowledge.
1) Anyyyything's possible. Having no knowledge of the Auction module, I'd say that it would seem like the main hurdles to marketplace would be the auction details themselves. Opening and closing auctions by date, setting a biddable price, etc. and I really couldn't say if marketplace and auction will play nice with each other. It might be a good idea to give it a try and come back with feedback.
2) I've used the old dev marketplace 6.x version on a live site and at its core, it is decently stable. Masspay seller payments seem a bit tenuous so that might be a big issue with your site. I'm also not familiar enough to comment on the differences between 5 and 6.
I'm doing some spring cleaning and this is an old post so I am marking it closed. If the OP or anyone else would like to resurrect the topic or discuss, feel free.
