Yeah i use joomla, very easy to put together w/ tons of modules & componets aka plugins. open source so alot of the plugins are free. just about anyone can maintain it also.

^^ right on.. yeah i looked at cube cart earlier.. ive tried and installed oscommerce, x-cart, cs-cart, lizard cart.. and a bunch of others.. they lack alot of shit.. and you have to tweak to get it where you want it to be.. i want something simple tho like bigcartel but thats hosted on their website not on yours and they have a 5 item max for free.. anything more is a monthly membership.

Ive also heard people mention Zen Cart, dont know much about it.
Zen Cart™ truly is the art of e-commerce; a free, user-friendly, open source shopping cart system. The software is being developed by group of like-minded shop owners, programmers, designers, and consultants that think e-commerce could be and should be done differently

yeah joomla is cool, good for lots of stuff, but all the plugins are pretty much out tha box, so unless you know about programing and shit there aint much you can do to customize em to look like your not just using some freeware plugin. I used Joomla to make a few sites but after some problems with clients and their hosting providers I found it is easier for me to just write simple applications from scratch to accommodate stuff like content management. For a cart option I prefer to send the users to a storefront on Paypal or something similar depending on who the client is working with. That way the end user knows they can trust the transaction and you dont have to deal with all the bs of running a secure server or storing credit card info. Depends on the requirements of the client really, but in order to limit my liability I push for hosting the storefront on a trusted site.
