Hi Adam,

Take a look at http://www.oscommerce.com/ it's FREE, uses php, is easy to
set up and has thousands of user contributed modifications.

Hope this helps

PS: One of the reasons ASP is used is that your shopping cart can be stored
locally on your PC so that it can be restored on a later visit without
requiring registration etc.
