Tom McKnight to Head Memorabilia Development.

Tom McKnight, former memorabilia acquisitions manager at Hard Rock Cafe International, has joined Musichotbid.com as manager of music memorabilia listing development.

"We're very pleased that someone of McKnight's caliber has joined us," said Jim Kersten, president and CEO. "He brings a wealth of music memorabilia knowledge and dealer relationships that will allow us to quickly enhance our memorabilia content listings."

McKnight purchased memorabilia used in Hard Rock Cafe International's restaurants and venues. He researched, and maintained databases for each item and developed relationships with music artists, vendors, private collectors, and dealers worldwide. He will utilize his dealer relationships to expand the 8,400 Musichotbid.com dealer network. The addition of McKnight will provide those seeking hard-to-find music memorabilia greater access to those items via the Musichotbid.com online auction, shopping cart, searchable database, or classifieds.

"I'm excited to join such a dynamic and growing company as Musichotbid.com," McKnight commented. "My background with Hard Rock Cafe combined with Musichotbid.com's business strategy on the Web seemed like a natural fit and will enhance the company's range of Web offerings. It's my goal to bring to Musichotbid.com at least 5,000 top-quality memorabilia listings daily to the auction, classified, and shopping cart sections of the Musichotbid.com Web site so that the customer has the widest, most comprehensive selection available anywhere on the Internet."
