Extending the shop into an auction like functionality

I have an upcoming project that is proposed to be a small online auction site that is community based around a certain market, with forums, articles, etc. I think Exponential would be a good starting point on it and was curious if there are any auction like modules out there? I searched the forums and all I found was some guy just saying there was, but he couldn't remember the site.

Of course, probably end up writing the code myself to meet the requirements, just hate reinventing the wheel.

Thanks!

Or, in the alternative, would it be possible to perhaps point me out where to start if I wanted to extend the shopping cart functionality?

Thanks, although it's more of a general idea, BTW, is there a class diagram or something of Exponential so I can have a better overall look/feel for the system? I tend to do design up front, and it'd be easier to make the modifications I plan on making.

thanks!!!
