Press Release Author = Jessica Small/Small Wonders Press

Industry = Internet & Online

Press Release Summary = Successful bidder must be on Santa's Good List for 2006,
says e-Bay seller On Ouchs. The Vernon, B.C., resident hopes to give the gaming
system -- which he paid nearly $1,500 USD for -- to a good home this holiday season,
while possibly landing a guest appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.



Press Release Body = VERNON, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- On Ouchs could've stood in line for
hours to get his 60-gigabyte PlayStation 3 on Nov. 16th, the eve of the gaming
system's much hyped launch on Nov. 17th. But, he didn't.

Instead, he paid someone $750 Canadian for a guaranteed spot in line to purchase the
hottest gaming system available this holiday season.

Sony released only 400,000 of the units in North America.

Now, Ouchs wants to auction the still-packaged PlayStation 3 console, two games and
extra wireless controller -- retail valued from $700-$1000 USD -- for a mere dollar
on eBay, even as other eBay sellers are turning large profits on their PS3 sales.

Why? "Because I am a nice guy," Ouchs says. "And because I want to go down in
history, and maybe get to appear on Jay Leno."

The auction will run via Ouchs' eBay store between Thanksgiving and Christmas. The
buy-it-now price will be $1. For an unreleased period, the auction will be shielded
from any bids through eBay's pre-qualified bidder process.

Prospective bidders who want to hit the buy-it-now button on eBay, purchasing the
system, must first go to Ouchs' Web site http://www.onedollarplaystation3.com and
explain why they should be on Santa's Good List for the year.

Sometime before Christmas, Ouchs plans to open the buy-it-now feature up to all
bidders deemed worthy by the jolly-old bearded one, himself.

At that point, the auction will go quickly, selling to the first bidder who notices
the auction is no longer being pre-screened.

"It'll be fun and exciting," Ouchs said. "In the end, somebody is going to be
getting a great deal."

He expects the auction to experience a high level of watchers and possibly be one of
the largest eBay auctions ever, given the high public demand for the gaming consoles
this season. If he is able to raise the funds, Ouchs wants to make the special
delivery himself.

"I want to be able to hand deliver this system to the winning bidder and see the
smile on their face," he said.

auction will be posted on the site.
