In the interests of fairness...
engine-it.com most certainly did NOT create CryptoThrift. We need to have a few words with them about using us a reference site...
We did however purchase their auction theme and use it as a starting point for the site 2 years ago. Since then we have rewritten so much of it, it is not really fair of them to use us as a reference site any more. You won't buy an auction script that does everything you need it to do. Or if you do, then we have wasted two years of evenings and weekends writing as much code as we have. There is a huge amount of "back end" code that users don't see that is needed in order for a site like this to function, and for you to manage your site and provide effective support for your users.
We are currently in the process of mapping out the next phase of development for CryptoThrift (which will see some huge changes!) and it require several man-years of development in order to implement them. Just bear that in mind.
