So you'd like to run your own auction on your Joomla site? Well BF Auction Plus makes this easy. You can even run reverse auctions.
BF Auction Plus is Joomla 3.0 ready, and also still supports Joomla 2.5.
Got an issue, question or suggestion? Our publically available support forum allows anyone to post which will be responded to promptly by our developers.
I have tried several auction components available for Joomla, and this is the best of the ones I have tried.
It has got good documentation and works fine as intended.
Cons:
- support forum is slow. I have posted there several times with 2 posts taking 4-7 days to get an initial response, and 1 post left unanswered (after 2 weeks)
- the component is in some ways a work in progress. New updates do come with new features, so that is great. At the moment the main feature I think it lacks is the ability to lets users contact the sellers directly with questions.

I contacted Tim when doing a translation of his component after I bought it. I need to stress the I did several translations on major components in the last 2 months and I can state without any hesitation that this is the best service I got from ANY Joomla component provider. Not only did he get actively involved, he showed real interest. I must still test the component over time, but if this is the kind of service you get, it just sets a standard! I really appreciate the way in which he supports his product and the documentation is clear and instructive. Thank you Tim!
