AuctionStore.com Offers South Floridians New, Easy Way to Sell Their Items on eBay and Turn Unwanted Items Into Cash Just in Time for the Holidays BOCA RATON, Fla., Dec. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- On December 1, 2004, Evolve One, Inc. (OTC:EVLO) (BULLETIN BOARD: EVLO) announced the opening of its new logistical hub facility and drop center, AuctionStore.com ("The Easiest Way To Sell On eBay"), at 1000 Clint Moore Road, Suite 101, Boca Raton, Florida 33487. Through this new facility customers can drop off merchandise, which they desire to have sold on eBay during normal business hours. This facility will also act as the new corporate headquarters. "eBay is the fastest-growing company ever in history" according to Fortune Magazine (October 18, 2004, page 162). "eBay has grown over the last seven years from $5.7 million in revenues to $3.2 billion in estimated 2004 revenues. Of that $3.2 billion in revenue, eBay is projected to produce more than $1 billion in operating revenue this year. To put that in perspective eBay has grown faster than Microsoft, Dell or any other company in history during their first eight years of existence. On eBay this year, more than $32 billion dollars worth of merchandise will be bought and sold." On September 1, 2004, the International Herald Tribune Online reported in "Cautiously, eBay Helps Auction Drop-Off Stores" ( http://www.iht.com/articles/536811.html ) that "[o]f eBay's 114 million registered users, about 90 percent are buyers, auction industry officials said. EBay would like to attract more sellers, but many people are unwilling or unable to take digital photos of their items, write competent descriptions and post the products on eBay for sale." The article also stated that "[e]Bay drop-off stores, which list, package and ship eBay items for people who cannot be bothered to do it themselves, have gotten a little help in their quest to find a market -- from eBay itself" and that "[e]Bay has begun promoting the stores on its site, listing them in a public database and creating standards of conduct to help keep sellers from handing their goods over to the wrong people." Although the article claims that "[a]s a market, the drop-off stores are unproved, ... an eBay spokesman, Hani Durzy, said the company was 'excited about the possibilities for these stores.'" In the article, Durzy says, "We're watching intently ... and figuring out what's the best way to support them without getting in their way." The International Herald Tribune Online article also mentions Scott Kessler, an Internet equity analyst for Standard & Poor's, who "said that the auction drop-off industry would sell about $14 million worth of items on EBAY this year but that figure was expected to grow," giving "eBay the potential to win more users ... since these sellers will probably start following their auctions on the site." The market in the United States is rife with unwanted items as Americans buy many items that they later do not use. In October 2004, AC Nielson did a survey of unused household items for the average American home. The survey was entitled, "American households have approximately $2,200 worth of unused items" ( http://download.ebay.com/tas/5022.pdf ). According to the survey, the most unused items included handbags, film camera and cell phones. AuctionStore.com desires to be a bridge between sellers and eBay.
