AW2K is auction management software.

I'm moving toward a fixed price, stock item retail operation and I'm beginning to wonder if I should be looking at other software for the purpose. This is no dissatisfaction with AW, just the realization that I'm headed in a different direction.

Looks to me as if I could run a bunch of BIN listings on eBay using AW without a problem, but at some point I'd want a shopping cart, I think.

On the buying side, AW lets me create inventory, even allows an item to be marked "stock" and to record its cost. AW doesn't allow me to keep a record of my changing cost of goods. For instance, last time I bought a hundred 213B Widgets, they cost me $0.93 a piece, but the order I just placed I'll be paying $0.91 for them. If I use the single field for Item Cost to look at how my sales of widgets worked out at the end of the year, I'll be pretending that the latest cost for widgets applies to all my previous widget purchases as well. Perhaps the problem I've just described should be handled in the accounting program instead.

If I need other software to run the e-store, then it would be great if that software didn't do everything backwards from AW2K--except of course where it had to. Is anyone running both AW2K and some e-commerce software? Particularly, any experiences with osCommerce, which is what I'll probably use unless there's a strong reason not to?

All responses are appreciated. The very best responses are to the questions I should have asked, but didn't know enough to.
