and
2003
Condensed Financial Statements - Page 50
29. We see that you describe these financial statements as
"condensed".
Condensed financial statements are only permitted for interim
financial statements. Please revise your description of these
financial statements throughout the filing.
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Page 55
30. We note your response to our prior comment no. 47. We see
your
disclosure on page 55 states "the deferred income tax valuation
allowance at December 31, 2004 was approximately $2,400." However,
based upon your tabular information presented on page 57, the
valuation allowance for the year ended appears to be $7,250.
Please
revise your disclosure to accurately reflect your valuation
allowance
as of December 31, 2004.
Note 2. Stockholder`s Equity - Page 56
31. We see your disclosure that in August 2004 you sold 44,620
shares
of common stock for $111,550 to the principle stockholder.
However,
we note your disclosure on page 58 and 74 that Pricester.com, Inc.
received a $111,550 loan. Please revise the description of this
transaction throughout your filing to consistently describe the
nature
of this loan so that it is not confusing to investors. We refer
you
to disclosures in your previous filings where you describe this
transaction as a sale of 44,620 shares of common stock for
$111,550 in
August 2004 to your major shareholder and the funds were then
advanced
to Pricester.com, Inc. (Florida).

the

Notes to the Condensed Financial Statements
Note 11. Subsequent Event - Merger - Page 75
34. Refer to our prior comment 62. We see on February 9, 2005,
Pricester.Com (the company) merged into Pricester.com, Inc,
("BA22") a
public non reporting company (that was initially incorporated in
Nevada in March 1998 as Business Advantage #22, Inc.). BA22
acquired
100% of the Company`s outstanding common stock by issuing one
share of
its common stock, $0.000001 par value, for each share of the
Company`s,
then outstanding, common stock, or 21,262,250 shares and the
acquisition will treated as a reverse acquisition for accounting
purposes. It is unclear to us why you do not consider this
transaction a recapitalization. We believe when a public shell
with
no operations and nominal net assets acquires an operating company,
the transaction would be accounted for as a recapitalization.
Pro
forma financial information is not presented since the combination
is
not a business combination. The accounting is identical to that
for
reverse acquisitions except that no goodwill or other intangible
should be recorded. Given disclosures in the business section
(page
17) and MD&A (page 31) that prior to the merger with Pricester
Florida
on February 9, 2005, Pricester Nevada (BA22) had no significant
operations and had no control over the operations of Pricester
Florida,
it appears the transaction is a recapitalization. Please revise
the
filing to properly describe the accounting for the transaction as
a
recapitalization or tell us why no revisions are necessary.
Note 14. Common Stock Options - Page 76
35. We see that you issued stock options to your directors and
corporate officers during August and November 2004. Please
provide
the required disclosures required by paragraphs 46-48 of SFAS 123
and
as amended by SFAS 148.
Pricester.com, Inc.-Pro-Forma Financial Statements
General
36. Refer to our comment in Note 11 above. We see that you have
chosen
to present pro-forma financial statements showing the effect of
the
merger of Pricester.com, Inc., a Florida Corporation, and Business
Advantage No. 22, Inc., a Nevada Corporation. However, pro-forma
financial statements are not required to be presented for a
recapitalization because it is not considered a business
combination.
Please revise this filing to remove these financial statements and
any
reference to them throughout the filing or tell us why no changes
are
necessary.
Part II
Item 27. Exhibits
37. We see that you incorporate by reference your Exhibit 16 that
was
dated January 4, 2005. However, you provided this corrected
information in your Amendment No. 4 to Form S-B, which was filed
on
February 5, 2005. Amendment No. 4 to Form S-B was not reviewed at
your request. Please obtain, provide, and include an updated
Exhibit
16 that accurately reflects the appropriate filing date of your
amendment 5 to Form S-B.
Exhibit 5. Legality Opinion
38. We note your response to comment 68. Please clarify the
number of
shares that have been issued and the number of shares to be issued.
Also, delete the paragraph beginning "This opinion is not to be
used,
circulated, quoted...." Investors reading the registration
statement
should be allowed to rely on this opinion. In addition, file a
new
opinion in view of the last paragraph of the opinion.
