Upon sale or retirement of assets, cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the balance sheet and the resulting gain
or loss is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations.
Internal-use software and website development
The Company includes in fixed assets the capitalized cost of internal-use software and website development, including software used to upgrade and
enhance its Website and processes supporting the Company's business. The Company capitalizes costs incurred during the application development stage of
internal-use software and amortizes these costs over the estimated useful life of two to three years. The Company expenses costs incurred related to design or
maintenance of internal-use software as incurred.
During the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2009, the Company capitalized $9.0 million and $5.4 million, respectively, of costs associated with
internal-use software and website development, both developed internally and acquired externally. Amortization of costs associated with internal-use software
and website development was $11.6 million and $6.0 million for those respective periods. The decrease in costs associated with internal-use software and
website development is primarily related to a greater number of software licenses purchased in 2008 compared to 2009.
