Looks similar to the financial reports I have to pass by to get to the sports section of my newspaper, and they are just as meaningless to me and probably 99% of those who play auctions.
Why not give the numbers issue a rest, or take it to email with those who like this kind of thing?

Know what RB? for once, I agree with you. The numbers thing has gotten way beyond the point of any useful purpose, including information. Now anyone interested in knowing what Bidville is doing can find out on the trackpal pages.
Ehh... Dimview, I believe a new auction site opened, if you hurry you can beat the crowd to crunch the numbers there.

I don't have much interest in math or precise calculations, I've always known the site sell through was extremely low and that was the main point to me. I stayed out of the "debates" because I thought all the arguing over percentage points of small numbers was just silly, especially with all the inflammatory personal jabs thrown in.
I will make an observation about the "official" report as to why the total # is rounded off. With all the roasting Dimview has taken for inexact figures why did the site release inexact figures? The exact #'s are readily available on DT's website:
611,592
622,660
631,364
639,478
645,156
663,269

Not that it really matters, it only results in a very minor % point error.
