Press Release

LAS VEGAS, NV (September 18, 2000) - At the eLink 2000 conference here today, DoveBid Inc., a provider of Webcast and online capital asset auctions and valuation services, and Commerce One, Inc. (NASDQ:CMRC), the leader in global e-commerce solutions for business, announced plans to make DoveBid's capital asset disposition services part of the portfolio of strategic business services syndicated by Commerce One and available on the latest version of CommerceOne.net (formerly named MarketSite.net). DoveBid asset disposition services make it easier and more cost effective for its customers to dispose of surplus capital assets. The plans are part of a non-binding memorandum of understanding between the two companies. Definitive agreements are expected to be executed by the fourth quarter of 2000.

"Disposing of surplus capital assets is an important corporate need. We believe e-marketplaces are an ideal forum for asset disposition because they aggregate fragmented buyers and sellers from around the world," said Liron Petrushka, vice president of auction services for Commerce One. "We expect our anticipated working relationship with DoveBid will enable us to provide our customers with a proven solution and help them profit from surplus assets."

DoveBid specializes in selling surplus corporate assets across 19 asset categories, including machinery and computers. DoveBid has conducted thousands of industry-specific auctions on behalf of corporations, government agencies and financial institutions from around the world. DoveBid asset disposition services will be available directly to buyers and suppliers and through syndication by Commerce One to other e-marketplaces, creating value for buyers by providing them with access to a wide variety of used equipment and value for sellers by allowing them to reach a large pool of qualified buyers.

"Commerce One is a pioneer in offering business services to e-marketplaces", said Jeff Crowe, President and COO of DoveBid. "Capital asset disposition is an important business service, and a needed component of e-marketplaces. We are pleased Commerce One recognizes this need and that they plan to add DoveBid to their suite of business services."
