What Hacker News says?
$2,519.01 (red arrow) is not a large sum of money. Compound that with the time period indicated by the blue arrow. Elsewhere in the site founders explain that they charge a 3% transaction fee. In other words they pulled in $75.57 over 4 months. </quote> http://jeffspost.wordpress.com/2008/05/25/why-didnt-it-take-...
