>From what I have heard, redShop is a fork of VirtueMart. So I am not sure if
redShop can solve your problems.

OpenCart is easy to use and stable. I have used it for a couple sites -
collectible plates and a vintage book store, but I don't think it can handle
14,000 items, but it might as you can make product categories. The problem
with OpenCart is it has limited CMS. You can create pages, but content
management is not nearly as good as Joomla or WordPress.

If you have the time, I would try Magento. I have played around with it, and
it is an enterprise-grade e-commerce system (think Amazon-level), but it is
complicated and there is a learning curve.
