Business Editors, High Tech Writers

APEX, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 25, 2002

MyndForce, Inc. announced today that it has acquired AntiqueNC.com, a regional Web site located at http://www.antiquenc.com.

AntiqueNC.com is a popular destination for local antique enthusiasts

and collectors. Jeff Tyson, CEO of MyndForce, states, "The purchase of AntiqueNC.com really excites us. Ray Wicker and I are passionate collectors and see AntiqueNC.com as an opportunity to create a comprehensive online showcase for local dealers, malls and auctioneers."

Articles, news about antiques, and an online calendar of events, auctions, and shows provide visitors with a regular source of timely information. Online auctions and classifieds are targeted at the regional antique and collectible scene, offering buyers and sellers an easy way to conduct transactions. Another useful feature of AntiqueNC.com is a directory of North Carolina's antique stores and malls.

MyndForce has exciting plans for AntiqueNC.com. A major site redesign project has begun that will culminate in a complete online community experience for the North Carolina antique industry.

New features will include:

-- An online marketplace showcasing products from North Carolina antique dealers

-- Community areas for auctioneers, dealers and collectors

-- Online forums where collectors can trade tips or ask experts questions such as the value of a prized family heirloom

-- Individually hosted areas for antique dealers, auctioneers, antique malls and flea markets

AntiqueNC.com and its sister sites represent a unique opportunity for the small business owners, craftsmen, artists and auctioneers of North Carolina to have a vibrant presence on the Internet. Many of these businesses do not have the resources to build, maintain, and promote individual Web sites. Wicker says, "AntiqueNC.com is the first step in providing online communities for North Carolina's rich array of cultural resources including arts, crafts, historical landmarks, antiques, and collectibles. By combining the resources and products of many small businesses, we can provide an economy of scale none of these businesses could achieve on their own."

While the Internet has opened the world to many small businesses, the founders of MyndForce share a belief that localization is the key to future success for certain markets, such as antiques and collectibles.
