Does anyone know of a php/cgi script that will allow users to post and sell used books. I tried using Bookexchange 0.5 at http://www.digisurge.com/exchange/ but I keep getting errors . The script is pretty old so the support webpage is gone. I have looked on hotscripts but didn't find anything but this. I need a script that will let users post new books, let users browse for books, etc... something similar to bcstudent.com .

Thanks.

Wouldn't a classifieds script work?

Well...Yes I think it would :) I would just need a script that would be easy to modify the html pages. Can anyone suggest a good classifieds script? Preferably PHP based.

If you absolutely cannot find another solution, I'll look at that script and try to fix the errors.

Thanks for all the replys. I found a nice free PHP based solution and it is working great.

Just in case someone is looking for the same thing and searches the forum, would you mind posting the URL to the script?

I sure can:
http://www.deltascripts.com/phpclassifieds/

It has a nice PHP driven install system. You can view the script in "action" here:
http://www.digisurge.com/bookexchange
(Please note: I am only testing the script so the Bookexchange is not really up for business).
