Question: When do you want to launch the site? Shoppingcacrt.net does not show as an active domain. So you need a full shopping cart solution that will allow you to add/delete/change prices yourself correct? Is your budget more flexible? Will you be safekeeping bids for future reference or choosing a bid received from designquote designers?
Client's Answer: i would launch the site when i find someone to design and we agree on all the requirements and price, depends on how flexible your talking, yes i can + or - the budget. i use a shopping cart threw google called cartmanger or something, for one of the other websites i have, this site will be for selling adult products

Question: Do you have a time frame you need be launching the site by? Most free shopping carts like the one's through Google do not support database technology like SQL which you will need to support 5000 products. How flexible is your budget past $1000?
Client's Answer: well its not a free shopping cart, its actually cart manager, a service of godaddy.com, the time frame is flexible, for launch only because i want to make sure the designer and myself are on the same page. and as far as my budget past 1000 it depends on how much past we are going and what all the designer describes will be involve to get what i need accomplished
