Dear Nino:

On behalf of DoveBid, Inc. ("DoveBid"), I am pleased to offer you a full-time
position as General Counsel effective on December 14, 1999 on the following
terms and conditions:

Your annual salary will be $180,000 and will be paid in accordance with
DoveBid's normal payroll procedures.  Also, you will be eligible for a year-end
bonus up to 33% of your base salary, determined by DoveBid in its discretion,
and payable on or about DoveBid's fiscal year-end.  All payments to you will be
subject to legally required withholding(s).  It is DoveBid's policy to review
salary and compensation levels periodically.  Accordingly, your base salary and
any other compensation may be adjusted from time to time.

Your compensation package also will include an incentive stock option under the
terms of DoveBid's 1999 Stock Option Plan for 200,000 shares of common stock at
an exercise price of  $0.33 per share.  Your stock options will be subject to
the terms of DoveBid's 1999 Employee Stock Option Plan (the Plan includes
vesting restrictions, restrictions on exercise and restrictions on transfer of
shares) and will be conditioned on your execution of an Employee Stock Option
Agreement related to your options.

In addition to your base salary, you will be eligible to participate in the
employee benefits generally made available to our full-time employees, as may be
modified from time to time in DoveBid's discretion.  At the present time, those
benefits include health insurance, life insurance, vacation and sick pay in
accordance with applicable benefit plans and DoveBid's written policies.

Also, in addition to your base salary, DoveBid will provide you with a cellular
phone at its sole cost.  And, DoveBid will pay your reasonable relocation costs
from Los Angeles to Northern California, including two round trip airfares for
your spouse, and reasonable interim accommodations.

As a condition of your employment, you will be expected to comply with all
DoveBid's policies and procedures, as may be modified from time to time in
DoveBid's discretion (including our policies protecting other employees against
discrimination and sexual
<PAGE>

harassment). Please refer to DoveBid's Employee Handbook for details regarding
those policies and procedures. However, you should be aware that DoveBid
currently is revising its employee policies and procedures and you will be
expected to abide by the new policies, which will be issued shortly. Also, you
will execute DoveBid's Employee Confidentiality And Proprietary Information
Agreement.

Your employment with DoveBid will be "at will"; in other words, either you or
DoveBid will have the right to terminate your employment with DoveBid at any
time with or without cause.  Notwithstanding DoveBid's right of termination,
DoveBid agrees that if it terminates you for any reason other than for "cause"
at any time within the next year, DoveBid will pay you severance equal to six
months salary.  "Cause" means (i) gross negligence or willful misconduct in the
performance of your duties to DoveBid (other than as a result of a disability)
that has resulted or is likely to result in substantial and material damage to
DoveBid, after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to you
by the Board of Directors which specifically identifies the manner in which the
Board believes you have not substantially performed your duties and you have
been provided with a reasonable opportunity to cure any alleged gross negligence
or willful misconduct; (ii) repeated failure to perform your duties to DoveBid
as requested in writing by the Board of Directors (other than as a result of
disability); (iii) commission of any act of fraud with respect to DoveBid; or
(iv) conviction of a felony or a crime causing material harm to the business and
affairs of DoveBid.  No act or failure to act by you shall be considered
"willful" if done or omitted by you in good faith with a reasonable belief that
your action or omission was in the best interests of DoveBid.

We look forward to having you join our team!  If this letter meets with your
understanding and expectations, please sign below and return a copy of this
letter to my attention.  Thank you.

Sincerely,

Cory Ravid
Chief Financial Officer

I understand and agree to the above terms

Dear Jim:

As we discussed, and on behalf of DoveBid, Inc. ("DoveBid"), I am pleased to
offer you a full-time position as Vice President of Operations reporting to me,
effective as soon as you indicate your acceptance to this offer below.

Your annual base salary will be $175,000 and will be paid in accordance with
DoveBid's normal payroll procedures. Also, you will be eligible for a year-end
bonus up to 33% of your base salary, determined by DoveBid in its discretion,
and payable on or about DoveBid's fiscal year-end. All payments to you will be
subject to legally required withholding(s). It is DoveBid's policy to review
compensation levels periodically.

Your compensation package also will include an incentive stock option under the
terms of DoveBid's 1999 Stock Option Plan for 700,000 shares of common stock at
an exercise price equal to fair market value of the stock on your start date.
Currently, the fair market value of DoveBid's stock is $0.77 per share; however,
you must accept this offer and begin your employment prior to Thursday, January
13, 2000 in order to receive shares at an exercise price of $0.77 per share -
after that date, fair market value is expected to increase to $1.50 per share.
The Company will allow you to exercise those options immediately and to deliver
to the Company a note in the principal amount of $539,000 in order to purchase
those shares. Your stock options will be subject to the terms of DoveBid's 1999
Employee Stock Option Plan (the Plan includes vesting restrictions, restrictions
on exercise and restrictions on transfer of shares) and will be conditioned on
your execution of a Plan Agreement related to your options.

In addition to your base salary, you will be eligible to participate in the
employee benefits generally made available to our full-time employees, as may be
modified in DoveBid's discretion. At the present time, those benefits include a
"cafeteria" style benefits plan, health insurance, life insurance, vacation and
sick pay, and a 401k plan which you will become eligible for in accordance with
the applicable benefit plans and DoveBid's written policies.
<PAGE>

Your employment with DoveBid will be "at will"; in other words, either you or
DoveBid will have the right to terminate your employment with DoveBid at any
time with or without cause.

As a condition of your employment, you will be expected to comply with all
DoveBid's policies and procedures, as may be modified from time to time in
DoveBid's discretion (including our policies protecting other employees against
discrimination and sexual harassment). Please refer to DoveBid's Employee
Handbook for details regarding those policies and procedures. Also, you will
need to execute DoveBid's Employee Confidentiality And Proprietary Information
Agreement.

Please note that because of employer regulations adopted in the Immigration
Reform and Control Act of 1986, within three (3) business days of starting your
new position you will need to present documentation demonstrating that you have
authorization to work in the United States. If you have questions about this
requirement, which applies to U.S. citizens and non-U.S. citizens alike, you may
contact our personnel office.

This offer will remain open until January 14, 2000. If you decide to accept our
offer, and I hope you will, please sign the enclosed copy of this letter in the
space indicated and return it to me. Your signature will acknowledge that you
have read and understood and agreed to the terms and conditions of this offer
letter and the attached documents, if any. Should you have anything else that
you wish to discuss, please do not hesitate to call me.

We look forward to having you join our team!

Sincerely,
