Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements
Certain statements in this presentation and responses to various questions include forward-‐looking
statements, including statements regarding growth, opportunities for our business model, potential revenue
stream from data, and platform expansion. The words “believe,” “may,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,”
“intend,” “should,” “plan,” “could,” “target,” “potential,” “is likely,” “will,” “expect” and similar expressions, as
they relate to us, are intended to identify forward-‐looking statements. We have based these forward-‐looking
statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that
we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ from those in the forward-‐looking statements include
effective marketing campaigns, maintaining and establishing relationships with partners, our ability to
successfully replicate our platform for items other than phones and small consumer electronics and our
partners providing sufficient customer service to our customers. Further information on our risk factors is
contained in our filings with the SEC, including the Form 10-‐K for the year ended December 31, 2012. Any
forward-‐looking statement made by us herein speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Factors or events
that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to
predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-‐looking statement, whether as
a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

ROOTS OF RECOMMERCE
“ Your Personal Trading Community ”
“ Shop Victoriously ”
� eBay was the original “reCommerce” marketplace
� Due to fraud and customer experience concerns, eBay has become a shopping platform where less than 10% of sellers are individuals
� Power sellers must now find inventory elsewhere; in other words, they must become “Power Buyers”
� There is a need for a “Power Buyers” platform that enables power sellers to efficiently acquire inventory
