(HOUSTON, TX) -- NaughtyBids.com, the adult auction site owned by publicly traded Rick's Cabaret International, Inc. (Nasdaq: Rick), has launched a co-branded program for the auction of sexy items from the Bunny Ranch, the world's best-known brothel.

The new site will be available from both NaughtyBids.com and BunnyRanch.net and through affiliate programs with other Websites. The auction program uses the proprietary auction platform developed by NaughtyBids.com, which enables bidders to buy items offered by the ranch located just east of Carson City, Nevada, and by private vendors.

"The site will feature hundreds of unique items that are available only from the Bunny Ranch," said ranch owner Dennis Hof. "We'll auction off collectibles such as panties worn by our stars (bids start at $20), tee shirts with the Bunny Ranch logo (they start at $15), dressing robes with logo (bidding for a typical robe reached $81 after 30 bids), autographed photos of Sunset Thomas showing off her breast enhancement surgery (starting bid: $24.98) and a "Bunny Ranch Survival Kit" that contains "menu" of services and other items "For a successful trip to the ranch along with cash."

Eric Langan, CEO of Rick's Cabaret, said, "The Bunny Ranch is one of the best known brand names in the adult field and we expect this site will be a strong addition to our existing network of seven sites. Plus, NaughtyBids.com has launched a Webmaster affiliate program for the new site that will pay one percent of the winning bid price on every auction that an affiliate's users win, as well as a bonus payment for every user that creates an account."
