     WORCESTER,  Mass.--(BUSINESS  WIRE)--November 9, 2000--Sales OnLine Direct,
Inc. (OTC BB: PAID) (the "Company"),  an Internet collectibles portal, announced
it  has  acquired  a   substantial   portion  of  the  assets  of   ChannelSpace
Entertainment,   Inc.,  a  Virginia  corporation  ("CSEI")  and  Discribe,  Ltd.
("Discribe"), a Canadian corporation wholly owned by CSEI.

     "This is a momentous step for collecting on the Net," declares Greg Rotman,
Chief Executive  Officer of the Company,  "Two giants of online  collecting have
joined forces to create the ultimate one-stop  E-Commerce and information source

     CSEI and  Discribe  (key word  "Clans" on America  On Line  (NYSE:AOL)  are
converged   Internet  content  providers  and  producers  of  affinity  portals,
including     the     CollectingChannel.com     and    the     CelticChannel.com
(http://www.collectingchannel.com)  websites. CollectingChannel has earned solid
credibility  within the collecting  industry through its associations  with such
major factors as Yahoo (Nasdaq: YHOO), eBay(R) (NASDAQ: EBAY) and PAX Television
(AMEX:PAX).

     "Having  worked with the Sales  OnLine  Direct for several  years now, I am
ecstatic to become part of such a winning  team,"  says Barry  Friedman,  former
co-founder  and  co-chairman of CSEI, who assumes the post of Chief of Strategy.
"CollectingChannel.com adds powerful capabilities and resources,  including over
four million words of professionally  written collecting content and our Passion
search engine with a staggering 1.4 million entries."

     "CollectingChannel  also brings a significant broadcast capability to Sales
Online Direct," notes Steve Sanford,  CSEI co-founder and co-chairman,  who will
now serve as the Company's Chief Operating  Officer.  "We have 19,000 minutes of
digitized broadcast footage dedicated to collecting."

     "This historic  merger also adds  Maloney's  Resource Guide to Antiques and
Collectible (http://www.maloneysonline.com)," says Richard Rotman, the Company's
Chief Financial Officer.  "This includes Dealer Directories,  Museum and Library
Listings, Restoration Services, Suppliers of Parts and more."

     The consideration paid by the Company for the acquired assets was 7,530,000
shares of the Company's  common stock,  which shares are not being registered at
this time,  plus  $300,000  worth of the  Company's  common stock which is to be
registered.  The unregistered  shares will be held in escrow for the purposes of
complying  with the Rule 144  holding  period  and  securing  certain  indemnity
obligations  made by CSEI in the  acquisition  documents.  The escrow shares are
subject to additional lock-up restrictions.



     "The  addition of these assets opens  exciting  avenues for the Company and
broadens the  Company's  offerings,"  Greg Rotman adds.  "We are pleased to take
this  step  forward  in our  efforts  to become a leading  Internet  portal  and
community in the collectibles industry."

     The  Company is an  Internet  collecting  portal  with its  primary  online
collectibles    websites    located    at   "www.collectingexchange.com"     and
"www.rotmanauction.com".  The Company is focused on the creation of a unique and
multi-faceted  Internet  collectibles  market place that services all aspects of
the purchase,  ownership and sale of collectibles.  The Company derives revenues
from the sale at auction of collectibles  from its own inventory as well as from
merchandise under consignment  arrangements with the public; sale of advertising
on its websites; and fees for services such as appraisals and gradings.

     Future   announcements   about  the  Company's   purchase  of  assets  from
ChannelSpace   Entertainment,   Inc  and   additional   Company  plans  will  be
forthcoming.
