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. AuctionStore.com ( http://www.auctionstore.com/ )
now lets anyone, with or without a computer, easily and
conveniently sell items on eBay by dropping them off at our first
drop-off location. At this location, customers may drop off their
new or used items and AuctionStore.com does the rest by: * Creating
a detailed, informative, concise, compelling listing description
for Goods to be listed on eBay; * Entering the listing on eBay.com;
* Professionally photographing their items; * Downloading the
photograph(s) to eBay; * Packaging the Goods; * Storing the Goods;
* Responding to all inquiries about the Goods from potential
buyers, via telephone and email; * Processing all financial
transactions; * Processing all shipping transactions; * Shipping
the Goods within 24 hours of payment during business week; and *
Finally sending the customer a check once funds clear Goods sold
are to be worth at least $50. Goods with an estimated value of less
than $50 require a minimum upfront charge of $19.95 as a listing
commission to be listed by AuctionStore.com for sale. Our ordinary
