Tedski, you're making this look like one of those other stamp forum sites where they just do random numbers and stuff... for what reason I have no idea. :crazy:

Where were those rules someone (Michael?) posted a few years ago that a post doesn't count if it's less than 10 words, emoticons don't count as words, etc.? That was pretty funny!

On February 1, 2012 at 9:51pm EST, the 3 Millionth item to date sold on bidStart! The item was # 10802129 Ireland 139 2.5p Leinster House Dublin Used and was sold by seller DianeAlthea to buyer MDRoth

What makes this purchase even more remarkable is not only did MDRoth purchase the 3 Millionth item sold on bidStart, but he had previously purchased both the 1 Millionth item sold on bidStart, AND the 2 Millionth item!

I don't believe it was by accident. He was probably laying in wait, with a full shopping cart, ready to pull the trigger at the right moment.

He illustrated what he thought was the 3,000,000th purchase. Which indicates to me he was consciously watching the sales numbers.
