Car auction application

[ianjamieson]

Hi everyone. First post.

I want to build a car auction application possibly incorporating a live bid system. But I'm having problems with a few niggling details:

I think users fall into four types: those that are after a particular car at a particular auction location; those that are after a particular car at any auction location; those that are after any car at a particular location; those that are after any car at any location.

Q: have I got these types of user correct? Are there any more? How common is each type relative to the other?

This is important because it will help me place more visual real estate to things like location maps or stock searches.

any help much appreciated.

I'd most likely go for location and performance type car. Lots of variables to calculate/cater for. Best wishes with it though.
