It would be great to be able to have people be able to add products to a cart and then send a quote request based on those items. It would also be great if we could disable payments so that it would force the user to send the quote in.
There are 2 ways to accomplish what you are trying to do.
nopCommerce project has a feature called "wishlist"
if you notice wishlish works in the same pattern just like shopping cart but the only different is: you don't checkout but instead of that you can share it with anyone.
You can replicate that feature as it is to create a quote request cart that can be e-mailed to store owner.
OR
If you do not use wishlist feature then you can turn your wish-list feature into quote request cart just by renaming all the fields in it.
and the last page where you send out the wish-list to any friend > in the text box "TO" just mention store owner's e-mail address (in aspx page) so by default the e-mail will goes to the store owner.
I was just waiting for one of the "nop gurus" to come up with something better - since that's what they do : )
Not sure if you've done this yet or not, but vote for this feature here: http://nopcommerce.codeplex.com/workitem/10024. I don't think this will be built into nop in the near future without enough votes.
