Here's the final 3% "no crowding" gap spreadsheet for this contest with 19 guesses.

Since the guessing deadline has passed, it's merely a record of what guesses were made and the box is empty because I ran out of lines for the gaps. So many people played (a record 19) and the guesses are over such a large range that way to many gaps were left at the end of the contest. Thanks to all who played.

Available guesses or guess ranges are shown in GREEN within the small upper right black bordered box.

And the winner of Auction Contest #175 is Russ Kirk who with the 7th entry into the contest offered the winning guess of $1,001.00 to give him his 5th auction contest win! So, a big congratulations go out to Russ Kirk for another win in the CRPF Auction Contests and for moving up one rung in the Contest Standings.

Wow, didn't see that coming, the selling price that is! Once again we see a last second snipe by a bidder placing their one and only bids winning the auction. This auction stalled at $127 for days but the last few seconds saw 3 snipes driving that up by a factor of 8, a seller jaw dropping moment. In the end, 5***9 ( 1192 )'s one and only bid of at least $1,053.88 just 5 seconds before the auction ended did the trick to take the phone home. The phone was listed at just $17.00 and over the 7 days, attracted 9 bidders placing 23 bids.

Someone needs to check on the seller to see if they are up off the floor yet.

Thanks again to all who played. As always, there is only one way to get on the winner's board or move up a rung - you have to play to win.
