Dear Abdul and John:

We at KCSA are  extremely  pleased that Able  Auctions has selected  KCSA Public
Relations Worldwide as its investor relations counsel.

This letter,  when signed by you,  will confirm that Able  Auctions has retained
KCSA  Public  Relations  Worldwide  as  investor  relations  counsel  commencing
February 1, 2000.  For our  services,  our monthly  minimum fee will be $16,000,
which will  entitle the Company to up to 100 monthly  hours of the  professional
services of KCSA. All  incremental  hours - estimated in advance and with client
approval - will be billed at the rate of $165 per hour.  Any unused hours during
the course of a month will be "banked" and utilized  during the next month.  The
first two months'  payment  (February 1 - March 31,  2000)  ($32,000) is due and
payable with the return of this signed agreement.

The agreement  will be for an initial  period of six months.  All future monthly
fees will be billed on the first of each month,  commencing  April 1, 2000,  and
are payable in ten days.

It is  mutually  agreed  that  any  individual  out-of-pocket  expenses  such as
BusinessWire distribution, messengers, air courier, clipping service, offset and
mass mailings will be rebilled to Able Auctions with the standard  agency charge
of 20 percent.  Telephone,  Xerox, postage, travel and editorial lunches will be
rebilled  without  markup.  All  individual  expenditures  over  $500.00 will be
expended only after client approval.

As part of its contracted  services,  KCSA will make its best efforts to arrange
directly  or  indirectly  a  financing  with  institutional   and/or  individual
investors on behalf of Able Auctions.  Should KCSA obtain this  financing,  KCSA
will be  compensated  under  the  Lehman  Standard  which is 5% of the  first $1
million raised;  4% of the second $1 million raised;  3% of the third $1 million
raised;  2% of the fourth $1 million raised;  and 1% of the fifth $1 million and
any

additional funds raised.  KCSA will receive full payment upon the closing of the
transaction  and  will  reduce  the  payment  by  one-half  of  the  sum  of any
professional fees,  excluding  out-of-pocket  expenses,  it has earned up to the
closing of the transaction.  At the discretion of Able, the $8,000 per month fee
for financing may be terminated upon 30 days notice. The entire agreement may be
terminated upon 60 days written notice.

To the extent Able  Auctions  desires to take  advantage  of the services of our
full-service graphic design and corporate identity division,  monies due for the
preparation  and production of collateral  materials  such as brochures,  annual
reports,  reprints and corporate identity and name change explorations,  must be
paid one half of estimated budget at presentation of finished  comprehensive and
one half at presentation of mechanicals.

Able  Auctions  agrees to  indemnify  and hold  harmless  KCSA Public  Relations
Worldwide from and against all losses, claims, damages,  expenses or liabilities
which we may incur based on  information,  representations,  reports or data you
furnish us, to the extent that such  material is furnished,  prepared,  approved
and/or just used by us.  Similarly,  KCSA Public  Relations  Worldwide agrees to
indemnify and hold  harmless Able Auctions from and against all losses,  claims,
expenses or  liabilities  which Able  Auctions  may incur based on the misuse of
information, representations, reports or data you furnish us.

Once again,  we are pleased to have the  opportunity  to serve you, and you have
the assurance of our very best efforts.

                                        Cordially,

                                        KCSA PUBLIC RELATIONS WORLDWIDE
