We worked off a highly customized open source platform until we reached about $3M in sales. We built our own from there. Total cost for the new platform I'd estimate at $300K. We have multiple sites and they all operate under different rules. For us an in-house solution was the right move.

The downside is I have only 2 developers and many projects. I can't get things done as quickly as I could if I had the ability to contract out the work.
