What’s a basic database schema for trading items? Here are the rules for the trade:
- users propose a trade for other user’s items.
- both users can counter each other’s proposals as many times.
Its very brief and general but I’m just looking for a basic schema to help me in the right direction in designing the database.
Basically you’re talking about bidding (auctions) … here is a decent schema I have loosely used in the past for such projects.
