Auctions International Inc. and Cherry Auto Inc. Start Real Time Integration

Adds Over 5,000 Vehicle Listings and 40 Dealers to AutoBidLive.com

KELOWNA, BC -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 05/28/08 -- Auctions International Inc. (PINKSHEETS: AUCI), a technology company that owns and markets proprietary software that enables real time online auctions of virtually any commodity in the wholesale market, announced today that the technical development and testing has been completed with Cherry Auto, Inc. of Suffolk, VA (http://cherryautonet.com/) to push Cherry Auto clients' inventories to the AutoBidLive website on a nightly basis.

Cherry Auto Inc.'s car and truck inventories from dealers will now be posted on AutoBidLive's (www.autobidlive.com) dealer-to-dealer trading platform.

Scott Ehrenfried, President & CEO of Cherry Auto Inc., said, "The development work has been completed for the formats provided by AutoBidLive. We are pleased to advise our clients that we have expanded our sales program by offering them another venue that provides market exposure for their vehicles. We will be able to give AutoBidLive a daily load of our dealers' current inventory, which represents over 40 dealers and 5,000 vehicles. AutoBidLive's unique auction platform allows dealers to expose all inventories at virtually no risk and minimal effort -- the seller ultimately decides how and when to transact."

Mr. Ehrenfried further stated, "With current market conditions in the USA auto industry, dealers need to use every tool available to them to get increased exposure to achieve greater productivity and reduce cost of sales. Both companies will complement the other through joint marketing of our relationship throughout the North American Auto Dealer Network."

Douglas Mann, President of Auctions International, Inc., said, "We were very pleased when we announced the relationship with Cherry Auto and now that the work has been done to get the dealer inventory posted, we look forward to attracting even more dealers. We plan to build a massive inventory of US vehicles allowing us to facilitate trades between dealers on a regional basis. Canadian dealers always look to the US markets to identify value priced cars that they can sell to their customers in Canada. This will be a transparent implementation from the dealer perspective and as long as the selling dealer obtains his price, it really doesn't matter where the car is sold. When a trade is completed, the buyer and seller each pay a fee."
