IPO on the the 9th an .10. Now ended today at .29.

COMPANY OVERVIEW: Auction Mills Inc. (OTC: AUML)

Auction Mills Inc. (OTC: AUML), through its authorized eBay reseller drop-off stores, is “tapping into an untouched market: people who want to sell on eBay but don’t have the time – or don’t want the hassle of photographing their items, listing them online, answering buyers’ questions and shipping what’s sold.”

Auction Mills makes using eBay easy for the millions of Americans who aren’t computer-savvy, don’t have a digital camera, or who don’t want to put banking, credit card and other personal information on the internet. And eBay is happy to see the drop-off stores springing up! As eBay spokesman Hani Durzy has stated: “We’re excited about the possibility of these stores being able to bring some people to the eBay marketplace that up until now have not been able to participate in it.”

Auction Mills Inc. supplies the public with a convenient, professional and confidential approach to participating in the Ebay online marketplace. Experienced Ebay auctioneers provide customers with a method of turning unused items into cash. The Company actually takes possession of the items to be auctioned eliminating the hassle and wasted time associated with the selling process and allows customers an opportunity to benefit from the existing relationship that Auction Mills Inc. has with Ebay. This exciting method of marketing is currently available to franchisees. Management intends to cultivate a worldwide network of franchises that will work unanimously to offer the public the most effective tool available for online marketing.

MARKET AND OPPORTUNITY

eBay sold over $24 Billion in goods in 2003! Durzy said, “22 million items are available on the site at all times” (Courier-Jounal.com May 10, ’04). eBay claims to have 41.2 million active users and over 100 million registered users (Forbes.com, 5/5/04). However, only about 8% are sellers. With Auction Mills and other authorized eBay drop-stores, entrepreneurs expect that number to increase dramatically – and with fees randing from “20-40% of the sale price, that can add up to a lot of money.” (Forbes.com 5/5/04). With eBay estimating $10 Billion in consignment sales from drop-off stores, that could add up to $2-4 Billion in yearly revenues!

BUSINESS PLAN

Auction Mills will open drop-off stores in the Dallas area and then will offer franchises around the country. People will drop the items off at the store, and then AuctionMills.com will do the research for pricing and description, then take digital photographs, write the ad copy, and set up the auction process on eBay. When the transaction is complete, AUML will ship the goods to the highest bidder and then send the check to the seller. Also, the Company plans to increase revenues through the sale of franchises and the subsequent royalties derived from the new stores.

GROWTH POTENTIAL

As Bankrate.com states, “These ‘brick-to-click’ storefront drop-off centers are springing up from coast to coast.” (4/19/04). These stores offer a more attractive option than Goodwill, the Salvation Army, and garage/estate sales – there is the potential to make a lot more money on eBay than these other alternatives. AUML will be the first publicly-traded company in this explosive new retailing phenomenon with eBay!

The authorized eBay drop-off stores have the potential to start a new class of retailing. As the Dallas News.com reported, “The notion of new and repeat customers has eBay Inc. officials embracing the offline growth of its business, even though the company has no plans to open any drop-off stores of its own.” As eBay spokesman Hani Durzy says: “There is an opportunity for anyone to open a store and survive and thrive. People like selling stuff on eBay. Why not help them out?” “With close to 200 drop-off stores in the United States, Mr. Durzy said he expects many more to open.” (Dallas News.com, 4/19/04).

“We’re excited about this,” eBay Chief Executive Meg Whitman said at a goldman Sachs investor conference in Phoenix. “Clearly they are getting an incremental customer that would have never come to eBay on their own.” eBay estimates that consignment sales through drop-off stores may reach $10 Billion per year – which would yield $700 Million in revenues to eBay. (NashvilleCitypaper.com, 3/10/01).

CORPORATE HIGHLIGHTS

· Hassle-free authorized eBay selling experience.

· Access to 100 million registered global eBay buyers.

· Revenue streams from franchise and royalty fees.

· Opportunity to significantly increase the current 8% base of eBay sellers, plus adding new and repeat clients.

· eBay estimates $10 Billion in consignment sales from drop-off stores. $700 Million in revenues to eBay.

· Fees of 20-40%. Industry could generate $2-4 Billion!

· Investors have a chance to get in on the ground floor, as AUML is the first publicly traded company in this hot new national retail phenomenon with eBay!

KEY DEVELOPMENT

Jul 12, 2004 - Auction Mills Inc. goes public, revealing their plan to aggressively pursue corporate growth utilizing franchise networking. The Company will concentrate its efforts to convey its new marketing opportunity to the public, making its unique online network of Ebay Auctioneers available to customers needing a better, more effective tool to sell surplus goods with minimal effort.

By using the same technique that has been used in commodity trading for years, the Company actually takes possession of the goods to be sold, making the transition and the transaction much more trouble-free for both parties. This method is quicker, convenient and, because of this, attractive to people that would like to go into business for themselves through franchise ownership.

Alright, I missed this one (no surprise there) . Nice catch, Diana. So now comes the proverbial dilemma. Do I chase it or do I wait for a dip?

This reminds me of the days when we wondered if a store like "Mailboxes, etc." would be successful. I hate saying stuff like this, but this looks big.

I know opinions are just opinions, but do you folks think this will be one of those stocks about which someday I can say, "Yeah, I got in when it was only $1.50" Or do you think any stock that explodes like this has GOT to retrace?

Competition:

auctiondrop (at the UPS Store) http://auctiondrop.com

Seems big to me too.
As for Auctiondrop, Simple, but would rather have the personal touch the franchise store has to offer rather than droping an item off at a UPS drop.
As for the others, It seems a matter on who gets out and in front first. All offer franchise growth, but correct me if i'm wrong, Auction Mills is the only company that has gone public.
Not sure on the amount of potential franchises the others have, but 4300+ sure seems like a big number to me.
This is all speculation, but if it takes hold, it will undoubtedly be a VERY BIG thing.

WINSOME,

GOOD QUESTION. I WANTED TO ADD MORE SHARES--THINK I WILL PUT ON A WAIT AND SEE BASIS. FACTORING IN THE RETRACEMENT--COULD FALL BACK TO THE .85 CENT RANGE. WOULD NOT LAST LONG THERE--BUT COULD HAPPEN. I HOPE IT DOES--ONLY SO WE CAN PICK UP MORE SHARES. I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT MORE AT .29. I WAS ABLE TO PICK UP A FEW MORE WHEN IT RETRACED FROM 1.08 TO .80'S. THIS LOOKS LIKE A KEEPER. GOOD LUCK TO ALL.

IT MEANS FOR EVERY 5 SHARES OF STOCK YOU OWN RIGHT NOW OR BEFORE THIS FRIDAY--YOU WILL OWN 1 EXTRA SHARE FOR FREE. IF THE PPS IS 2.50 THEN YOU WILL OWN 6 SHARES AT 2.50 INSTEAD OF 5 SHARES AT 2.50. THIS IS A FORWARD SPLIT. I HOPE THAT MADE SENSE.

Diana, are you sure? It says it's a 5 FOR 1 split. Not 1 for 5.

I think it means for every 1 share of stock you own, you will have 5 after the split.

Diana I think you are describing a 6:5 split.

What they really do is for every 1 stock you get 5 stocks & your PPS gets divided by 5.

Example ---

Before

100 Stocks - PPS 2 dollars - Cost Basis 200 U.S.

After the 1-5 split

500 Stocks - PPS 0.4 dollars - Cost Basis 200 U.S.

Right..that's why I said 20% of whatever the share price will be once the deal goes through

Not all stock splits are a good deal however..here's an example: Panera Bread was over $70 a share, they split to $35. Unfortunately I ended up buying this stock when it was at its pinnacle, when restaurant stocks were good but going to make their decline. I ended up losing over $200. <shrug>

You are right about the 20%.

Forward Splits usually are overall good. If the price decline after the split or before the split you will loss money anyway since your cost basis is the same, until you decided to daytrade it...but in forward splits more shares are public for trading which for a company capable of doing a 1-5 split hopefully should be good. Just like in a reverse split most of the time the price goes down...in a forward split most of the time the price goes upward....Well...lets see what happens with AUML since it is Pink....

I THINK YOU ARE CORRECT. SORRY. WELL YOUR VERSION IS BETTER...

Yes, it is a forward split, PPS will be lower, the amount of shares you own will be higher. Forward splits are usually a good thing. It is kind of wierd for a company trading around $2.50 to do a forward split. I know you are in MLON. They did a 200 for 1 forward split when they were at $5.00. Their reasoning was that they wanted to increase volume and make their stock more liquid. When MLON did their split it was also right after their IPO, so I think the two situations are comparable. Here is the link to that story...

You have until the 8/4 to get the split......one comment about the forward split. I saw a reference to mlon doing the same. Yes they did and shortly after it tanked huge. I own melon and hope it rebounds and have been thinking of buying into this as well but the split can be perceived many ways.

Another PR.
Seems the franchise requests keep rolling in. Most are from area developers, 33 more since wed. Looks good to me.
Hope the 5 for 1 split brings on more investors come aug 4th.
