That looks like a fun project.
How I would code that depends on how the page is maintained. Are you using formtools to maintain the database of items you are listing? If not, I would create an internal form with all of the required fields (title, item#, price, etc.). I would then write some php code that would get all of them from the database and display them on the page. Each one would be identifiable by their unique submission ID given by formtools. The user would check boxes next to their choices and hit submit. It would then push their selections (by submission ID) to the next page. That page would only get their selections from the database and display them on the page. The user could then print that page with only their selections.
As a disclaimer, I'm somewhat new to php and someone else may have a more simple idea!
