                       PROXY STATEMENT IN SUPPORT OF THE
         NOMINEES OF GREGORY ROTMAN AND RICHARD ROTMAN FOR ELECTION AS
                     DIRECTORS OF SALES ONLINE DIRECT, INC.

                        SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

                                  INTRODUCTION

         This  Proxy  Statement  and  the  accompanying  proxy  card  are  being
furnished in connection  with the  solicitation of proxies by Gregory Rotman and
Richard Rotman (the "Rotmans") for use at the Special Meeting of Stockholders of
Sales OnLine  Direct,  Inc. (the  "Company")  scheduled for September 7, 2000 at
10:00  a.m.  at the  offices  of the  Company,  4  Brussels  Street,  Suite 220,
Worcester,  Massachusetts 01610, or any adjournment or postponement thereof (the
"Meeting"),  which has been called to elect the  Company's  Board of  Directors.
This Proxy  Statement and the proxy card are first being sent to stockholders of
the Company on or about  August 10,  2000.  The  Company's  principal  executive
offices are located at 4 Brussels Street,  Suite 220,  Worcester,  Massachusetts
01610.

         The  record  date (the  "Record  Date")  for  determining  stockholders
entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting is August 1, 2000.  As of the
Record Date, there were outstanding 47,056,140 shares of Common Stock, par value
$.001 per share of the Company.

         As of the Record  Date,  the  Rotmans and their  Nominees,  own, in the
aggregate,  18,466,156 shares or 39.2% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock
and are seeking your vote at the Meeting for the election of John Martin, Andrew
Pilaro,  Gregory Rotman and Richard Rotman (the  "Nominees") as Directors of the
Company for a term expiring at the 2001 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until
their successors are elected and qualified. Each of the Rotmans and the Nominees
intend to vote his  shares of Common  Stock for the  election  of the  Nominees.
Certain  additional  information  concerning the Rotmans and the Nominees is set
forth elsewhere in this Proxy Statement.


<PAGE>

                        VOTING AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES

         Holders of record of the Company's  Common Stock on the Record Date are
entitled to one vote per share for the election of Directors at the Meeting.

         The  presence,  in person or by proxy,  of the holders of a majority of
the  outstanding  shares of Common Stock  authorized  to vote will  constitute a
quorum for the  transaction of business at the Meeting.  Abstentions  and broker
non-votes  will be  counted  in  determining  whether a quorum is present at the
Meeting. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present
in person or  represented  by proxy at the Meeting  and  entitled to vote on the
election of directors and abstentions have no effect.

         The  Rotmans  are not aware of any matter  other than the  election  of
Directors at the Meeting.  Should any other  business  properly  come before the
Meeting,  the  Rotman's  proxy  card  confers  upon  the  Rotmans  discretionary
authority  to vote in  respect to any such  business  in  accordance  with their
judgment.

         Execution and delivery of a proxy card will not effect a  stockholder's
right to attend the Meeting and vote in person.  A stockholder in whose name the
shares are registered as of the Record Date and who has given a proxy may revoke
it at any  time  before  it is voted  by  executing  and  delivering  a  written
revocation to the Rotmans or to the Secretary of the Company, by presentation of
a later dated proxy or by attending  the Meeting and voting by ballot (which has
the effect of revoking the prior  proxy).  Attendance  at the Meeting,  however,
will not in and of itself revoke a proxy.

         A stockholder who is a beneficial  owner but not a registered  owner as
of the Record Date,  cannot vote his or her shares  except by the  stockholder's
broker, bank or nominee executing a proxy on his or her behalf.

         Whether or not you plan to attend the Meeting,  please  sign,  mark and
date the enclosed proxy card and return it in the accompanying  envelope as soon
as possible. Sign your proxy card exactly as your name appears on the label.

                          BACKGROUND OF THE SOLICIATION

         Gregory Rotman ("G. Rotman") is president and chief executive  officer,
and Richard Rotman ("R. Rotman") is vice president,  chief financial officer and
secretary, of the Company. The Rotmans also constitute two of the Company's four
directors;  the other two directors are Marc Stengel  ("Stengel")  and his aunt,
Hannah Kramer ("Kramer").

         On or about February 25, 1999, the Rotmans, Stengel and Kramer received
an aggregate  36,928,912  shares of the  Company's  common  stock  (representing
approximately 80% of the Company's outstanding shares) when companies they owned
merged with, or were acquired by,


                                      -2-

<PAGE>

the  Company.  Following  that  transaction,  the  Company's  business  has been
conducted through four divisions,  i.e.,  Auction,  Inc., Rotman Auction,  World
Wide Collectors Digest, Inc. ("WWCD") and Internet Collectibles.  R. Rotman runs
the Rotman  Auction  division,  which  accounted  for  approximately  97% of the
Company's  revenues for the twelve months ended March 31, 2000, and G. Rotman is
the Company's Chief Executive Officer.

         Until May 5,  2000,  Stengel  was  charged  with  running  WWCD,  which
designed,  hosted and maintained client websites.  WWCD's business was conducted
from offices in  Maryland,  while the  Company's  remaining  businesses  and its
administrative functions were conducted from its offices in Massachusetts.

         During  the winter and spring of 2000,  the  Rotmans  became  concerned
about  Stengel's  refusal to provide both the  Company's  auditors and them with
financial  and other  information  regarding  WWCD.  In late April and early May
2000,  the Rotmans,  on behalf of the  Company,  successfully  gained  access to
WWCD's  facilities  and conducted an  investigation  of Stengel's  activities at
WWCD.  Such  investigation  led the  Rotmans to conclude  that  Stengel had been
engaged in a pattern of activity to defraud the Company, convert WWCD's business
from the Company to entities  owned or controlled by Stengel or his wife, and to
breach his  fiduciary  duties to the Company.  By letter  dated May 5, 2000,  G.
Rotman,  as  president  and chief  executive  officer of the  Company,  notified
Stengel that he was relieved of his responsibilities at WWCD. Since May 5, 2000,
the Rotmans  believe  Stengel has  solicited  customers and employees of WWCD to
become customers and employees of entities he owns or controls, to the detriment
of the Company.

         On June 1, 2000, at the direction of G. Rotman,  as president and chief
executive officer of the Company, the Company commenced an action (the "Maryland
Action")  in the United  States  District  Court for the  District  of  Maryland
against  Stengel  alleging  that Stengel  breached his  fiduciary  duties to the
Company,  made intentional  misrepresentations  to, and concealed material facts
from,  executive  officers of the Company,  engaged in  constructive  fraud with
respect to the Company and converted the Company's  property to his own benefit.
The Complaint further alleges that Stengel diverted corporate opportunities from
the Company to  corporations  that he owned or controlled.  The Complaint  seeks
compensatory damages and punitive damages.

         Stengel has moved to dismiss the Maryland  Action on the ground that G.
Rotman, as president and chief executive officer,  did not have the authority to
file the lawsuit and that board  approval was necessary to authorize the Company
to commence  the Maryland  Action.  He has also moved for a stay of the Maryland
Action until the Delaware Action referred to below is resolved. Both motions are
still pending in the Maryland Action.

         Stengel has also  commenced  an action in the Delaware  Chancery  Court
seeking,  among other things, a declaration that he was improperly removed as an
officer of the  Company  and  should be  reinstated  as such and to dismiss  the
Maryland  Action and  prohibit  the Rotmans from causing the Company to take any
action outside the ordinary course of business.  By Stipulation and Order, the
Delaware Action has been temporarily stayed until September 11, 2000.

         As a result of Stengel's  actions  described  above, G. Rotman,  as the
Company's President, has called the Meeting.  Pursuant to the Company's by-laws,
in order for persons to be validly  nominated  for election as a director at the
Meeting,  the secretary of the Company must have


                                      -3-

<PAGE>

received notice of intention to nominate such persons by August 3, 2000. Gregory
Rotman sent timely  notification to the Company's  secretary of his intention to
nominate himself,  Richard Rotman, Andrew Pilaro and John Martin for election as
directors at the Meeting.  The Company's secretary has received no other notices
of nomination. Therefore, the Nominees are the only persons who may be nominated
for election at the Meeting.

                              THE ROTMAN'S NOMINEES

         Certain  information  regarding the Nominees,  their present  principal
occupations and business addresses,  their business experience,  their ages, and
the aggregate number of shares of the Company's Common Stock  beneficially owned
by each of them as of  August 1, 2000 is set  forth  below.  A summary  of their
transaction  history with respect to the Company's  Common Stock during the past
two years is set forth below under "Certain  Information  About the Nominees and
Certain Relationship between the Nominees and the Company".

and  Richard  Rotman  was  first  elected  a  DIRECTOR  IN  1999.  SEE  "Certain
Information about Nominees and Certain Relationship between the Nominees and the

         Each Nominee has  consented  to serve as a director of the Company,  if

         The following  information  regarding  directors of the Company who are

                       THE ROTMANS' SOLICITATION EXPENSES

         The cost of solicitation will be borne initially by the Rotmans.  Total
expenditures  for the  solicitation,  including fees for attorneys,  solicitors,
advertising,  printing,  transportation,  and  other  costs  incidental  to  the
solicitation are estimated to be approximately $ 75,000, of which  approximately
$20,000 of such  expenditures  have been made to date. If elected,  the Nominees
intend to seek  reimbursement  from the Company  without a vote of the Company's
security  holders for the  Rotmans'  expenses  incurred in  connection  with the
solicitation of proxies.

         The  Rotmans  have  engaged  D.F.  King & Co.,  Inc.  to  assist in the
solicitation  process.  D.F. King & Co., Inc.  will be paid its  reasonable  and
customary fees for its services,  and will be reimbursed for its expenses.  D.F.
King & Co., Inc. will use approximately 20 persons in its solicitation  efforts.
In  addition  to the use of the mails,  solicitations  of proxies may be made by

stockholders or their personal representatives by members of the Nominees and by
D.F.  King & Co.,  Inc.  Copies of the  Rotmans'  soliciting  materials  will be
furnished  to  banks,  brokerage  houses,  fiduciaries  and other  nominees  for
forwarding to beneficial  owners of shares and the Rotmans will  reimburse  them
for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding such materials.

               CERTAIN INFORMATION ABOUT THE NOMINEES AND CERTAIN
               RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THE NOMINEES AND THE COMPANY

         On February  25, 1999,  the Company  purchased  all of the  outstanding
common stock of Internet Auction,  Inc., a Massachusetts  corporation ("Internet
Auction"),  which was  wholly  owned by Gregory  Rotman,  Richard  Rotman,  Marc
Stengel and Hannah Kramer,  (the "IA Shareholders") in exchange for the issuance
to the IA  Shareholders  of an  aggregate  of  36,928,912  shares,  representing
approximately  78.4%, of the Company's  common stock (the  "Transaction").  As a
result of the Transaction the principal  business of Internet Auction became the
business of the Company and Gregory  Rotman,  Richard  Rotman,  Marc Stengel and
Hannah Kramer became the Directors of the Company.

         In connection with the Transaction,  John Martin was granted options to
purchase  471,000  shares of Common Stock of the Company at an exercise price of
$.01 per share,  of which  147,875 are currently  exercisable.  No stock options
were granted to or exercised by Gregory  Rotman or Richard  Rotman in the fiscal
year ended  December 31, 1999.  Gregory Rotman and Richard Rotman held no option
to purchase Common Stock of the Company at December 31, 1999.

         Andrew Pilaro  purchased 700 shares of Common Stock at a price of $7.00
per share on April 22, 1999 and 1000 shares of Common Stock at a purchase  price
of $.75 on October 28, 1999.

         In September 1999, the Company  purchased  certain computer  equipment,
Internet research technology and coding material for a purchase price of $70,000
from a corporation owned by Gregory Rotman and Richard Rotman.

         In  February  1999 prior to the  Transaction,  Rotman  Productions,  an
entity owned by Steven Rotman,  the father of Gregory Rotman and Richard Rotman,
contributed an inventory of collectibles  with an estimated value of $629,000 to
Internet  Auction in exchange  for 236 shares of Internet  Auction  common stock
which in the  Transaction  converted  to 220,000  shares of Common  Stock of the
Company.  In addition,  after the  Transaction,  the Company  assigned to Steven
Rotman options at an exercise price of $.50 per share to purchase 700,000 shares
of the Company's Common Stock, owned by a third party.

         All of the  purchases  and sales of Common Stock of the Company by John
Martin,  Andrew  Pilaro,  Gregory  Rotman and Richard Rotman within the past two
years are set forth  above.  Except as set  forth  above,  none of John  Martin,
Andrew Pilaro,  Gregory Rotman or Richard Rotman is, or within the past year has
been, a party to any contractual  arrangements or understandings with any person
with respect to the securities of the Company.
