How much would it cost to have a website like craigslist.com designed?

I want to create a classified ad type website similar to craigslist that would be nationwide but would be limited to specific industry related products. It would be membership based with a monthly, qtrly or annual fee to list items but free to search. But it would also have to be city or zip code search able. Like craigslist, it does not have to be fancy or with a lot of graphics. Photos can be added by the ad posters if desired.How much would it cost to have a website like craigslist.com designed?
back coding in C# or VB+

search = Data Base(back end),

+ Fee($$$) =shopping cart

then the web site will be mooore expensive

A typical web developer will charge 30 to 50 dollars per hour. And here's the breakdown of the effort:



Gather requirements - 12 hours

Design - 40 hours

Implement - 160 hours

Test - 40 hours

Deploy - 10 hours



So it's about 262 hours total or 7,860 to 13,100 dollars. I am not counting the effort needed to charge your clients, which may require credit card validation, etc. Email me, I'll send you my resume and will do it for 8,000 :PHow much would it cost to have a website like craigslist.com designed?
