WWAG News WWA Group Concludes Dubai Auction with Record On-Line Sales

Gross auction sales exceeded US$19.5 million and involved more than 410 registered bidders from 28 countries, setting record numbers for sales and participants in 2006. Items auctioned on behalf of 148 consignors from 18 countries, consisting of more than 1,340 items, were sold to 212 successful bidders. The auction also generated a record number of on-line sales to WWA BIDLive on-line bidders, with 9% of total sales going to on-line bidders.

"We are pleased with the buyer turnout at this auction in Dubai, and the record number of on-line bidders," commented Eric Montandon, chief executive officer of WWA Group, Inc. "We sold a record number of items for more value on-line than at any auction since we first introduced the BIDLive system in 2003. This overall turnout helped push up the prices across most categories, and we expect continued growth in the higher margin, on-line business segment."

This was the 39th auction held by WWA Group's wholly owned subsidiary in Dubai since March of 2001, and is the third of six physical auctions planned for Dubai in 2006. WWA Group has completed 14 of the total 20 physical equipment auctions planned for the U.A.E., Australia, Indonesia and Qatar during 2006.
