Transcripts: The Monica Tapes ========================== The Number One Stock I've been Talking about All Weekend ============================ symbol- BII- on Toronto Exchange (call your broker to place trade) =============================== Private Message To: Ditchdigger From: ztect Sunday, Nov 29 1998 5:43PM ET DD - Did you see the bid.com [BII] commercial on tv? Was on during football at about 5 pm et... Very well done...... Will take another look because of it.. z ======================== Private Message To: Ditchdigger (who wrote...) From: ztect Sunday, Nov 29 1998 6:00PM ET They said BID.com I heard that distinctly, Green Bay vs the feebles (aka eagles) midway through second quarter...approx. time 5pm et broadcast in Philly. Very amusing and well done ... They said bid.com several times plus put bid.com logo on screen at end though the logo looked different than the one on the site. Also bought digital camera....though not great savings about 25% off retail sale price at the Micro warehouse.. Looks like bid periods are a lot quicker than at eBAY. One day as opposed to several days. Looks like less inventory because of much quicker turnover ...interesting.... Btw- the commercial was very well done. z ============================================== Private Message To: Ditchdigger (who wrote...) From: ztect Sunday, Nov 29 1998 6:03PM ET Wrong about one thing... Saw another Bid.com logo on the website.... It WAS indeed the logo that was on tv. z ps...tell your bozo compadres not to spam info... plus keep the content of my posts to you confidential thanks ==================================== Private Message To: Ditchdigger From: ztect Sunday, Nov 29 1998 6:26PM ET DD- Printing sedar report right now... Should have printed in monochrome.... These guys know how to have fun and use color..... Thanks...like what I'm seeing. z ================================== Private Message To: waldo (who wrote...) From: ztect Sunday, Nov 29 1998 6:42PM ET Waldo- I'm printing out the sedar listings right now... I've been to the site...actually bought a digital camera yesterday... Did you see the commercial? Plus if you know who is spamming this issue,tell them to stop... spam doesn't help. z ===================================== Private Message To: Ditchdigger (who wrote...) From: ztect Sunday, Nov 29 1998 7:20PM ET DD- The sedar site says it all, don't really need waldo's help. Actually hope waldo dissuades people, so I have more time to accumulate Tried to print....the investor pack used up all my ink. Anyway does the Toronto exchange open earlier then US exchanges? If so, when? Any thing else unusual I should know about placing orders on this exchange? Thanks ahead of time z ==================================== Private Message To: Ditchdigger (who wrote...) From: ztect Sunday, Nov 29 1998 7:35PM ET DD- My initial read of sedar was very very intriguing...I need to get another ink cartridge tomorrow so i can print it and annotate it. However, going to place an order tomorrow before I print it... Just quickly. Liked the marketing strategy Liked the financials and increasing revenues Liked the clarity of the reporting Liked the expansion into other venues Like how BII is distinguishing itself from other E-tailers. Looks like this could be BIG I'm in What was the closing price on Friday again? z ================================ Private Message To: Ditchdigger (who wrote...) From: ztect Sunday, Nov 29 1998 8:35PM ET Is there currently a large short position on it.... and does that have anything to do with bashers on the thread covering their positions? z btw- Most of my observations regarding frequency of auctions and surplus liquidation panned out.... This is quite a bit different than eBAY...not even really the same model. One of my gripes with eBAy is that bids are open for 4-5 days,,,and a zillion participants participate and you don't always know the reliability from who you're buying. More like an Amazon with a wide array of merchandise where you can set your price. Cool z btw- will go public with my enthusiasm as soon as "I'm in" I can pull a lot more people pretty quickly.... ======================= ========================= Links ============ ================ The auction site.. bid.com I love the graphics ========================= Segar search (Canadian version of Edgar) PDF. format (requires Adobe Acrobat) sedar.com

Bid.Com International (BII) Web page bid.com ========================== Yahoo promotion for bid.com yahoo.com -====================== POST # 1340 BII Thread Message 6522596 To all newcomers..a few statistics: Shares Fully Diluted: 32,000,000 52 Week High/Low: 3.95/.56 Previous Close: 2.31 Volume Last Week: 28.8 Million Shares Projected Revenues for 98: CDN $ 20,000,000.00 Projected Revenues for 99: 50,000,000.00 Mark Pavan's Projection for 99: 80,000,000.00 (Yorkton Analyst) Projected Profitability: Q3 1999 Number of Employees: 40 Offices: Mississauga, Ontario/ Tampa, Florida Notable Shareholders: America Online, Torstar, Rogers Communications.

Fred Singer, Director/ Senior Vice President of AOL Studios, (America Online Inc.) Jerry S. Vickers, Director /Vice-President,Yorkton Securities Inc.- Corporate Finance,Toronto, Ontario Bid.Com International Inc.was founded in 1995 and listed on The Toronto Stock Exchange in February 1998. It is one of the Internet's leading online auction sales organizations. The company offers a compelling, entertaining, and cost-effective method of selling a wide array of goods and services over electronic distribution channels. BII has disseminated a substantial amount of good news over the last 4 weeks about their technology platform.They took top honors at the Canadian Information Productivity Awards (CIPA) for: -1998 Award of Excellence -1998 Best of Category Award for Small Business -1998 Best of Show Award. 6 ways BII generates revenue: -Business to consumer -Business to business -Agents selling commission -Data base marketing -Sale of advertising -Licensing the technology BII expects to be earnings positive in 99, and one of the first companies to do it. They are closing a deal with a major cable content builder in US, that is going to use BID.com's auction format, for a number of their clients.This will purely be a licensing deal. Bid.com is getting into Europe, and has been working for 2 years now with a number of people, including the Bank of Ireland,and are very close to setting up operations there. Price Target: Some analysts say Bid.Com is undervalued on a price-to-revenue basis- the commonly cited valuation measure for Internet companies trying to grow revenues at the expense of profits. The shares of two other online auctioneers, EBAY Inc. (EBAY/NASDAQ) and Onsale Inc. (ONSL/NASDAQ), trade at 100 times revenue and two times revenue, respectively, and online book retailer Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN/NASDAQ) trades at 10 times revenue. Bid.Com is trading at about two times revenue,so based on its peers and investor sentiment, its stock could continue to climb. The majority of internet companies will not be profitable for at least 2 years. Bid.com may be one of the first. BII is in the process of applying for a NASDAQ listing. The share price will have to trade above CDN $ 6.00 in order to qualify. "I would love to stay a Canadian-based company doing really well internationally in e-commerce, becoming known for it, and being able to have a listing on the TSE as well as a listing on the Nasdaq," he says. "[But looking at it] as a marketer, if I had the cash and I was my big competition, I would take us out in a heartbeat." ---Paul Godin ***************************************** DD part 1 Message 6458486 DD part 2 Message 6458345 DD part 3 Message 6458544 Waldo ********************************** More info: Banner Placement Message 6522596 ********************************** Quote: Yahoo is easyest quote.yahoo.com But most quote services will give you Canadian quotes..I'm not daytrading it,so don't need realtime,,but may trade by the day<g> Most people don't realize it,while Canadian security laws are different-their filing requirements are stricter than the US,and their (the Toronto echange) is state of the art electronic trading..puts the Nas to shame.. ********************************* URL bid.com (gotta love the url name)

Read some of the NAVR thread... appears things are not going very well Subject: Audio and Radio on the Internet- NAVR To: Craig Rogers From: xcr600 Dec 3 1998 11:11PM EST Reply #1304 of 1304 Craig, I don't see much more downside. It's right around the 13day moving average. Oversold as well, of course it was overbought initally. Usually I play the opposite of what people do on these threads. When everyone is screaming it's going to stars, then it's time to short. When everyone is crying, it's time to long. Screwed up on a day trade, and now I'm stuck with a losing long position. People, keep one thing in mind. If and when this thing comes back, there are a lot of sellers still out there that just want to get even and get out of the stock
