Re:  United Trading.Com - Form S-8

Gentlemen:

         I have acted as counsel to United Trading.Com, a Nevada corporation
(the "Company"), in connection with its Registration Statement on Form S-8
relating to the registration of 1,000,000 shares of its common stock ("Incentive
Shares"), $0.001 par value per Incentive Share, which are issuable pursuant to
the Company's Employee Stock Incentive Plan for Year 2002, as well as the
registration of 4,000,000 shares of its common stock ("Stock Shares"), $0.001
par value per Stock Share, which are issuable pursuant to the Company's
Non-Employee Directors and Consultants Stock Retainer Plan for the Year 2002.

         In my representation, I have examined such documents, corporate
records, and other instruments as have been provided to me for the purposes of
this opinion, including, but not limited to, the Articles of Incorporation, and
all amendments thereto, and Bylaws of the Company.

         Based upon and in reliance on the foregoing, and subject to the
qualifications and assumptions set forth below, it is my opinion that the
Company is duly organized and validly existing as a corporation under the laws
of the State of Nevada, and that the Incentive Shares and the Stock Shares, when
issued and sold, will be validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable.

         My opinion is limited by and subject to the following:

(a) In rendering my opinion I have assumed that, at the time of each issuance
and sale of the Shares, the Company will be a corporation validly existing and
in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada.

(b) In my examination of all documents, certificates and records, I have assumed
without investigation, the authenticity and completeness of all documents
submitted to me as originals, the conformity to the originals of all documents
submitted to me as copies and the authenticity and completeness of the originals
of all documents submitted to me as copies. I have also assumed the genuineness
of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authority of all
persons executing documents on behalf of the parties thereto other than the
Company, and the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents by
the parties thereto other than the Company. As to matters of fact material to
this opinion, I have relied upon statements and representations of
representatives of the Company and of public officials and have assumed the same
to have been properly given and to be accurate.

(c) My opinion is based solely on and limited to the federal laws of the United
States of America and the laws of Nevada. I express no opinion as to the laws of
any other jurisdiction.

                                                       Very truly yours,


                                                       /s/  Norman T. Reynolds
                                                       Norman T. Reynolds, Esq.
