ONLINE AUCTION
DESIGN & IMPLEMENTATION
The goal of auction is to let you win a item at the lowest possible price.
Your maximum bid is placed only when another bidder has bid up to
that amount. Bidding increases based on the set "bid increment." Thus,
"Current Bid" always equals the former bid plus the bid increment.
For example, in Online Auction, you'll find a rotating selection of more
than 12,000 brand name products.
In addition, we have different product categories, including computers,
computer peripherals, computer components, home office, housewares,
sports, hobbies, jewelry gifts, accessories, off-lease computers,
consumer electronics, digital cameras and video, apparel, linens, home
improvement, travel and events, collectibles, and everything else.

EXISTING SYSTEM
DRAWBACKS
Auction system are performed in ancient periods regardless the
location and status of the people.
The people who organize auction will be in a public place and the
bidders will be around him.
The drawbacks regarding this system is
• The value of the item to be auctioned by the auctioneer will be
reached sometime or may not.
• If the bidder is not interested with the product the auctioneer will not
get the value of the item, which will result in loss.
• Auction will take place in area where local people can participate.
• If the auctioneer is interested to bring the people from long distance
he should advertise which result in loss of income to him.
• The auctions cannot be conducted globally.
• Occur in short span of time; due to this the profit margin is reduced.
• The reports are prepared manually.
• The auctioneer has no means of offering the minimum value to his
product.
These are the drawbacks in classical auction system, which had to be
avoided.

PROPOSED SYSTEM
AIM:
The aim of the proposed system is to handle auction more consistently,
globally spread, increasing time span without lose of resources and
earn most of it.
BENEFITS
The proposed system will provide an easy way to manage the auction.
The system consists of modules such as user registration, administrator
login, user login, managing bid details, managing product details, by
the administrator etc.
The administrator can insert his product from any nook and corner in
the globe. This is placed in the database and can be retrieved by the
registered users around the globe.
SYSTEM DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT
INPUT DESIGN:
INPUT FORM DESIGN
Input design is the process to accept data in a computer-based format.
In the system design phase, the expanded data flow identifies the
logical flows, data source and destination.
• HOME PAGE:
The administrator and the registered users will go through one route
and the unregistered users have to go through the other route.
• REGISTRATION WINDOW:
If there is a new user he has to register his details such as first
name, last name, address, telephone number, fax number, city he is
living, contact address, email id, and so on.
• ADMINISTRATOR GOTO WINDOW:
The administrator can select the window that he has to go; it may
either bid details, product details or user details.

● ADMINISTRATOR PRODUCT DETAILS:
The administrator is the person responsible for placing the products
for auction. He can insert the details of the product through this
window.
● ADMINISTRATOR BID DETAILS:
The administrator will view the people who have bid for the product.
He will delete the entry if the time exceeds.
Database Design:
Database and database technology is having a major impact on the
growing of computers.
It is fair to say a critical note to say almost all where computer is used.
A database is a collection of data. By data, we mean known facts that
can be recorded and have the implicit meaning.
Database has the following implicit properties
A database represent some aspects of the real world, sometimes
called the universe of discourse or mini world are reflected in the
database.
A database is logically coherent collection of data with some
inherent meaning.
A random assortment of data cannot correctly be referred to as a
database.
Databases are designed, build, and populated with data for a
specific purpose.
It has an intended group of users and some preconceived
application in which these users are interested.
The database involves specifying the data types, structures, and
constraints for the data toe stored in the database.
The database tables are used to recall any record and any move met of
the project running time.
