I put up a level 9 entry on eBay for my Space-Shot.com tournament to win a trip to space on Rocketplane. This was Joe Latrell's entry for winning the SpaceShot, Inc. beta 1 tournament and he will get the proceeds of the sale. He is ineligible to use it himself because he is on the advisory board. Face value $750 for an entry to compete against 511 other players for a trip to space, starting price $499. The price needs to rise 15% to be 1/512 of the retail value of the prize ($192,500 ticket plus $100,000 cash).

SpaceShot also received Rocketplane congratulations on a successful launch.

Sam,

You've probably already thought of this, but once the contest really gets going, you may want to have a scoreboard of sorts that shows the number of players at each level. I think some people will enjoy this just for competition's sake, and anything you can do to enhance that can only help.

Good luck!

Scoreboard is in development and will be made live when someone gets to the finals or before.
