Press Release Body: ATLANTA, October 30, 2008 - WorthPoint (www.worthpoint.com)
announced that it has completed its acquisition of GoAntiques (www.goantiques.com),
an online network for buying and selling antiques and collectibles. The combined
company will have more than a half-million registered members and more than a
million unique visitors per month. WorthPoint founder and CEO Will Seippel will
retain his current position while GoAntiques President and CEO Jim Kamnikar will
serve as WorthPoint's president.

Founded in 2007, WorthPoint offers a multi-million point database of sales records
of art, antiques and collectibles from hundreds of auction houses. Members can take
advantage of expert advice from the Company's Worthologist team on how to preserve
or sell antiques and collectibles. Members can also share their knowledge and create
online collecting communities.

GoAntiques is the oldest Web antiques-and-collectibles site. It offers 650,000 items
from approximately 1,300 dealers in 31 countries and the GoAntiques' PriceMiner(r)
guide is the largest in the world, offering prices on 27 million collectibles and
pieces of art and over 32 million images.

"The art, antiques and collectibles industry is undergoing some dramatic changes as
we face uncertain economic times," said Will Seippel. "Combining GoAntiques' wealth
of experience in the market with our unmatched database of 4.5 million auction
entries helps put WorthPoint in a leading position to reinvigorate our industry."


"In the coming months, we will be unveiling new features and services to help people
understand the antiques and collectibles they own, determine their value and how to
monetize them," said Jim Kamnikar. "Members can look forward to a new
Internet-auction environment, a diverse community supporting different areas of
collecting and an organization that will make finding, pricing, researching and
selling antiques much easier."
