Summary

This is a smart contract for a modified version of the Baseball Card Store Dapp which uses a first-price auction mechanism. The auction for any individual card starts at the moment the first bid is offered and lasts for a fixed amount of time. At the end of the auction, the highest bidder should win the card and pay the amount of their bid (i.e., first price auction).

Details

This version of the Baseball Card Store features a new user purchase flow:

1. User navigates to dapp-card-store UI

2. User connects wallet

3. User selects a card to purchase

4. User is prompted with information about the card selected

5. User is shown the current bid (if any) for the card, the amount of time remaining on the auction (if applicable), and the history of bids and timestamps for the card

6. If no auction is already in progress, user is notified that an auction will begin at the moment they place a bid and the duration of the auction

7. User may make a bid for the card in IST by selecting the correct purse and providing an amount

8. User is given a visual confirmation of their bid starting or updating the auction

9. At the completion of the auction, winning bidder receives the card in exchange for the IST bid and all other bidders have IST returned
