Marie, One more point: I don't think your assessment that 50 products have sold is accurate. As far as I can tell none of these auctions have closed yet. The # of items auctioned ticker dosen't seem to count what you think it does. It must refer to # products offered or that have been bid on, or something. Which makes sense as people need time to get their bids in. Regarding the 'hit' numbers everyone seems to be counting here, this 'Customers served' number does not indicate 'hits'. Only people that have actually registered, given credit card number, (placed bids?), etc. This is not indicative of the number of people that have actually looked at the site, products, etc. If you have used EBAy, and others you will find that it is common for people to wait until closer to the auction close date before bidding - sometimes a couple days before close, some times seconds before close. People do not typically give out a credit card number just for the hell of it, they wait until they intend to buy something. Some of these non registered hits will not return, others will, all now know a little more about SHRP. Also, notice the CD alarm clock: Bid now $179 vs. $189 retail. Your favorite product seems to be everyone else's too!!
