estate auctions, connecting the world's leading auction houses with a
community of the 6 million most active buyers of fine art, antiques, and
collectables including coins, stamps, sports memorabilia, cars, wine, and
more -- literally everything sold through traditional auction houses.

Focusing exclusively on the fine art, antiques, and collectables market,
in the first quarter of 2008, Invaluable.com listed over 1,000,000 lots for
sale at upcoming auctions at more than 1,000 auction houses worldwide. UK

nearly 5 billion pounds Sterling in realized prices.

The Invaluable database contains the complete auction record, including
the full description and any available photographs, condition reports, and
provenance.

Invaluable Live! registration also offers other complimentary benefits
including the ability to save favorite searches, results and artists in a "My
Invaluable" account and the ability to email lot information to friends and
clients.

The complete Invaluable database, subscribed to by leading collectors,
dealers, auctioneers, appraisers, museums, libraries and government agencies
worldwide now represents over 30 million lots representing over 45 billion
pounds Sterling in value. The database spans a period of more than 20 years
and includes works by over 500,000 international artists.

"Invaluable is the only online resource that collectors need to find,
research and acquire what they are seeking," comments Adam Kirsch, Director
of Invaluable Group, LTD. Rod Funston, Company Secretary and Director of
Invaluable adds, "eBay's recent decision to pull out of the live auction
market underscores the need for a focused community of reputable auction
houses and qualified buyers. Invaluable Live! fosters that kind of
community."
