          Re:  Sales Online Direct, Inc. Registration Statement on Form SB-2

Ladies and Gentlemen:


           We  have  acted  as  counsel  to  Sales  Online  Direct,   Inc.  (the
"Company"), a Delaware corporation,  in connection with the possible issuance by
the Company of up to 716,435  shares of the Company's  common  stock,  par value
$.001  per  share  (the  "Shares"),  to be  issued  pursuant  to a  Registration
Statement on Form SB-2 (the "Registration  Statement") filed by the Company with
the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  under the  Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Act").

           We have examined copies of (i) the Certificate of  Incorporation,  as
amended  (ii) the Bylaws of the  Company,  as  amended,  (iii) the  Registration
Statement, and (iv) resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company
relating to the  matters  referred  to herein  (collectively  referred to as the
"Documents").

           Based upon the foregoing, it is our opinion that the Shares have been
duly and validly  authorized  and, upon  completion of the offering or offerings
described  in the  Registration  Statement  and  upon  payment  therefor  by the
purchasers  thereof,  the Shares will be duly and validly  issued and fully paid
and nonassessable.

           The foregoing opinion is limited to the laws of the State of Maryland
and the United  States of  America  and we do not  express  any  opinion  herein
concerning any other law. We assume no obligation to supplement  this opinion if
any  applicable  law changes  after the date hereof or if we become aware of any
fact that might change the opinion  expressed herein after the date hereof.  The
opinion  may be  relied  upon  exclusively  by you and not by any  other  person
without our prior written consent.

           We hereby  consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to the use of the name of our Firm therein. In giving
this  opinion,  we do not admit that we are within the category of persons whose
consent is required by Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

                                           Very truly yours,


                                           /S/ GORDON, FEINBLATT, ROTHMAN,
                                           HOFFBERGER & HOLLANDER, LLC
