Regic, where are you getting the counts?

The Pied Piper of Prattle (thanks, Sneaky ) is posting on the sb stating that the counts are incorrect on Medved and ebay.

Would love to tell them otherwise. ;D

PSU is now showing a gain of 976,000 listing to 13.2 million.  Medved hasn't updated since 3 am.  Listings climbed to 17 million during the sale 2 weeks ago.
