iSold It Turns Two Years Old With Strong Third-Quarter Results and 600 Stores Sold; Drop-Off Store Franchisor Creates a New Class of High-Volume eBay ``Uber-Sellers''.

PASADENA, Calif. -- iSold It, the nation's leading eBay drop-off chain, is pleased to announce its year-to-date 2005 gross sales exceeded $20 million, with third-quarter sales up more than 1,400% vs. one year ago. With its two-year anniversary around the corner, the company has over 140 franchise stores now open, 600 stores under contract, and is opening a new store on average every three days. Additionally, within these two years, the chain has helped almost 100,000 customers launch over 400,000 auctions on the eBay platform and has quickly become the number one seller on eBay. As a result, the chain's franchisees are becoming a new class of high-volume eBay "uber-sellers" -- trading assistants with extremely high volume on eBay.

"The response from our customers has been amazing," says long-time eBay seller and iSold It franchisee Michelle Naranjo. "I just helped one company liquidate its phone networking equipment, I'm helping a local auto dealer sell cars, and I just put one woman's entire Royal Doulton Toby Jug collection up for auction."

These high-volume sellers, many with sales 25 to 50 times the level needed to achieve eBay's prestigious "powerseller" status, have fueled their growth by tapping into the estimated $100 billion in household items available for resale, as well as the estimated $60 billion in merchandise liquidated by businesses each year. In the two years since the drop-off store category began to gain momentum, over 600 independent and chain stores have been opened in strip malls across the country. This number is projected to grow to over 5,000 stores in the next five to seven years. At this continued growth rate, these sellers could account for five to ten percent of eBay's domestic volume in the next few years.

"Cleary, we've tapped into something really big here. People want to sell on eBay, and are happy to have a service that makes it easy," says iSold It CEO and President Ken Sully. "Plus, our customers know that our stores have an incredible amount of experience on how to get the most out of eBay for them."

Intent on supporting its franchisees while growing the category, iSold It has invested heavily in national marketing programs, proprietary software and store operations support. The company's objective is to harness the wide range of opportunities created through the continued growth of eBay, and of e-commerce overall. "We're in the early innings of a long-term trend," says Sully. "Our goal is to give every household and business an easy way to participate in this growth."

About iSold It

The concept for iSold It was created by Elise Wetzel as she was helping to fundraise for a new playground at her children's school. Elise recognized that auctioning donated items on eBay could be a powerful fundraising tool, especially if there were a service that helped make it easy. From this small idea for a school benefit came the foundation for iSold It -- providing an easy way for any person, business or organization to sell things online.

Today, iSold It is considered the leading concept in the emerging drop-off store category. iSold It is registered to sell franchises in 48 states and currently has 600 stores under contract. For more information, visit www.i-soldit.com.
