(OTC BB:PAID - news) announced today that the "worlds largest sports memorabilia auction" available for viewing online has surpassed the $3,250,000 Million mark. The auction has gone beyond the company's expectations. "We feel confident that adding 'Auction Services' as a new division was a great move for the company," stated Greg Rotman CEO of www.SalesOnLineDirect.com. "This division is targeted at automating auction companies that want a presence on the Internet. We will assist those companies with our proprietary software and technology making their auctions capable of real-time and interactive bidding. The end goal for the company is to create a portal for antiques, collectibles, art and memorabilia offered at auction by the best companies in their field. We feel working with proven top of the line auction houses is part of what sets us apart from competitors like Amazon.com Inc. (Nasdaq:AMZN), and Onsale Inc. (NASDAQ:ONSL)."

Mastro chose Sales Online Direct to host the site due to its state of the art technology and strong reputation.

Principals at Mastro include Bill Mastro, who has been in the sports memorabilia business for 30 years and conducted Sothebys (NYSE:BID) sports auctions from 1991 to 1994, and Don Flanagan, who conducted Christie's sports auctions from 1993 to 1997 and is the sole authenticator and appraiser for the MCI National Sports Gallery in Washington, D.C.

Yes, actully i got an Incredible rate on the Ritz Carlton, better than my CORPORATE RATE, and Round Trip from LA to NY from Northwest. I called northwest for the same fare to see if they would let it go for the same price and they were not even close by 35% savings going with PCLN. Airline tickets is just the begining, They will sell everything using this PATENTED Business Model and yes it is PATENTED, thats Amazing right there!!
