I would say that there are about 1,500 playing this game. I sure would like to know for sure too, so that I could better guage the odds. The reason I say approximately 1,500 is that I have seen people post links to their auctions on the boards, and I had been monitoring the page count on it, to see how many lookie-loos were clicking on it, and it went to around 2,000. Of course, several of those 'hits' on the page counter were people like me going back to check the number of hits, thus repeat hits. I am pretty sure most people clicked on it,becasue of what the guy said and how it was worded, like it was a winning auction. So of course, everyone wanted to see it. This is just my 2 cents. I can't be sure. But it must be somewhat close. I don't think that there are 100,000 people playing or anything like that.
