Vendio™ Debuts Gigantic Lighted Sign at eBay™ Live! Show in Las Vegas

Spectacular sign challenges even those with great patience to guess the correct number of lights

SAN MATEO, Calif. June 13, 2006 — Vendio™, a leading provider of services that empower merchants to reach consumers and manage online transactions, today unveiled a spectacular hanging sign to grace the Mandalay Bay Convention Center at eBay Live! on June 13, 14, and 15. Constructed with space age materials in the top secret, underground Vendio Labs vault, the "Vegas" themed sign comes with a catch. Vendio is awarding a Canon Powershot A530 Digital Camera to anyone who guesses the exact number of lights on the sign.

The sign, which required 3,000 man-minutes of construction time, was masterminded and constructed by Vendio employees Christian Williams and Renn Ortenburger. "Not wanting to set off Rodrigo's Budget Radar™, we tried to run it as a stealth project. We figured we could hide the pegboard pretty well, and he didn't seem to have any questions about the green spray paint; but when we turned an empty cubicle into a MIG welding station... I think that's what did it", said Ortenburger.

"I knew that they were cooking up something special for eBay Live, but when the exorbitant, $189.12 expense report from Christmas Depot came across my desk... that sent me over the edge," exclaimed Vendio CEO, Rodrigo Sales.

Vendio is located in Booth #613 near the main entrance to the show floor, and all show attendees are welcome to enter their best guess for a chance to win a free digital camera and other great prizes.
