I've run across several 'nuke shopping carts, and I'm sure I could get a script up and running to serve as a catalog/storefront using ShowInMain, but...
If anyone is looking for an instant hit in the phpWS community, I think a shopping cart module would be it. From my limited online shopping experiences, the fantasy-level software would include:
- web-based management/update
- unlimited categories/sub categories
- thumbnails/close-ups
- sessions, not cookies
- inventory mgt/upc?
- shipping cost calculator
- ability to handle several payment methods, including credit & PayPal
- data export/reports

Yeah, that'd be a great module if and when it ever gets made. I'm thinking that it's more of an undertaking than maybe one person could actually accomplish in his/her spare time, though.
Special attention would definitely have to be given to security (moreso than other modules) , especially with Nuke addons as they tended to be pretty lax (as did the nuke core).
This may end up being something that waits until the module system has stabilized so that extraneous effort isn't expended. Maybe .90 will see some better modules?

Muggles is working furiously on a user synchronization for phpBB2. He has it pretty much perfected. Once that project is fully completed, I suspect the same technique could be used to synchronize users with OSC.
You are welcome to take a look at OSC. After MUCH research, this seems to be about the best shopping cart application I could find, particularly being supported by a large user community.

I really just want a catalog module. Something to display product information (including price), but not take orders or anything transaction wise. My prime example is for an auto dealer.
Perhaps making an "auto dealer" module is in order.
What do you guys think?

We've been asking about this for a long time. There have been some who have shown an interest in this and it may be that someone is working on one.
I have OSCommerce running as "ShowInMain" and opening in a new page on my test site at http://www.coastaloutdoors.com/phpwebsite/

yah, id say OS Commerce is it (previously known as the exchange project).

For Don...
Have you looked at OpenRealty and OpenAuto at http://jonroig.com/
You could either do a showinmain or create header/footer to match the rest of your site
So I would install ShowInMain on my phpws site, then setup another site with the OpenAuto code, and have that latter site displayed in the ShowInMain?
Forgive me for having to ask. I'm relatively new to all the wonders of all the various mods.
