TACOMA, WASHINGTON - June 3, 2002 - Ableauctions.com^TM, Inc. (AMEX:AAC) (the "Company") announced today the April 2002 results of its Technology Arm and its "bricks & mortar" Operations.

Under its "bricks & mortar" Operations, Ableauctions owns and operates six auction houses across North America that liquidate a broad range of products including electronics, automobiles, office products and industrial equipment that are acquired through bankruptcies, insolvencies and defaults. The Company conducts auctions live and simultaneously broadcasts them over the Internet using Ableauctions own technology.

Under its Technology Arm, Ableauctions, through it's wholly owned subsidiary iCollector International, represents 350 of the world's leading antique, fine art and premium collectible auction houses and broadcasts its clients' auctions on eBay using eBay Live Auctions technology.

For the month of April, Ableauctions "bricks & mortar" Operations conducted 21 auctions, resulting in gross auction revenue for the month in excess of $ 908,000 excluding iCollector's contribution. The Company's Technology Arm facilitated an additional 22 live auctions under its alliance with eBay Live Auctions, bringing the total to 43 for the number of auctions conducted in April (compared to 41 in March and 36 in each January and February 2002).

The Company's Technology arm continued to increase the number of auctions from previous months. Historically, Internet sales account for and estimated 15% of gross lot revenues for Company's combined ""bricks & mortar" and Technology Arm auctions. On-line bidding also influences the final "hammer price" over 60% of the time. Recently, however, with the attraction of Internet bidders from around the world, some prominent gallery auctions have seen between 25% and 50% of their auction lots sold over the Internet and even stronger underbidding from the internet.

"The results so far this year clearly demonstrate the value of this service to auction houses and validates the iCollector and the eBay Live Auctions product as important tools to help auction houses grow their business" stated Mark Hill, Director of Auction House Services.
