Test & Measurement, Chemical, Pharmaceutical, Medical Design, Power and many more.. and
ONSALE Inc - the most popular online auction have joined forces to offer a new Business to Business

the industrial communities are so targeted, your products wifl be placed in front of the right people.
VerticalNet communities are narrowly focused web sites that unite buyers and sellers from around the
world by catering to individuals with similar professional interests. VerticalNet's trade communities
provide a unique combination of trade services; content, community and commerce. Content includes
product information, directories, classifieds, job listings and news. Furthermore, our verticals provide
community forums where professionals exchange groundbreaking information, discuss and read about
the latest industry and product trends, and foster a focused environment for buyers and sellers to
communicate and engage in commerce. Business to Business on the net is big.. In fact, Bill Bass, an
analyst at Forrester Research, Inc in Cambridge, MA, said that business to business trade on the
internet is - by far - a bigger opportunity than consumer trade over the next 5 years
