    www.vibeshares.com Tell me what you think of my new site. It's really my first real website (my last one was 5 years ago). It's a stock market game for eBay items, but it can also be used to gauge the demand and popularity of items such as Ipod, Xbox, etc. How it works is basically popular items such as Ipod Nano, and PS2 are made into stocks. Their stock price go up if demand for that item goes up on eBay, it goes down if demand goes down. How is demand calculuated? From its bid to item ratio. If more people are bidding for Ipods than there are auctions for it, it means demand is high, and vice versa. I believe this is how eBay compiles its "What's Hot?" list every month. I'm basically doing the same thing.

    Feel free to sign up for an account - it's free, and play it. It's still in beta stage, but I am planning to give prizes monthly to top traders. Tell me what you think and any bugs you find of course ^_^

    Hmm interesting idea.

    Your site's got a nice eBay theme and it's easy to read and understand and all that. I think it would be helpful to have the menu links change color on rollover and also when you are visiting the site in question. It makes it much easier to know where you are in the site.

    So far though, your top traders seem to be the ones who haven't actually bought any "stock" yet. Everyone who has, has lost "money" lol!

    Hello Kuraptka,

    Good idea ;). And it looks really cool too. Here are my recommendations:-

    1. Move the "Movers and Shakers" to the top of the left hand column so that people can see what's going on inside.
    2. Put adsense under "» Join Now » Learn How to Play» Win eBay Gift Cards"
    but above "What is VibeShares?"
