Never, never underestimate the amount of work a project will take.
I've decided to think of it like this. First, instead of osCommerce or
Zen Cart, a friend recommended Magento Commerce:
http://www.magentocommerce.com/
When I looked at it, it makes osCommerce and Zen Cart look "old
school". It uses PHP5.2+, the Zend framework, MySQL5, and uses
Scriptaculous and ExtJS. (I wish it used jQuery for the Javascript
library, but oh well.)
Second, I'll take this guy's $500 and use Magento Commerce, even if I
have to pay for tech support at a loss to me, just to get one of these
catalog/carts under my belt.
Third, he wants it in 2-3 days. I'll try my darndest. In a bind,
Magento can speed that up with their affordable tech support, or I can
just pay them $180 to do the installation for me and I customize from
there.
Fourth, this client is the perfect one to try this out on. He has low
demands except cost and time, and time is a best effort. If I can do
it in a week, that will work for him. Plus, he doesn't care how it
looks -- just as long as it's functional, and then he'll customize
from there.
Fifth, I can guarantee you that the next one of these I do, I'll do it
for like $900, minimum.
