Hi, <br />
<br />
Depending on your skill sets, hosting capabilities and how much you want to offer your customer(s) .. Megento is emerging as the stand out package.<br />
<br />
I have been using it for about a year. It is open source, like OSCommerce, and very well supported in the community.<br />
<br />
I simply do not use anything else now. I highly recommend it.<br />

I simply do not use anything else now. I highly recommend it.

My thinking is I need it to be CSS workable. <br />
<br />
I also want to be able to do something like this with special items: chainlove.com. <br />
<br />
I did a brief survey and I was really curious about Magento from the good stuff I encountered during my independent research.

So there are a lot of options out there for developing an ecommerce solution. <br />
<br />
I was initially just thinking of going with OScommerce - but don't want to discount the other options there without careful consideration. <br />
<br />
Does anyone have any advice on this or possibly a comparison that someone else has done that they can link?
