Almost none of it came from almost anyone
The mean listing paid $146.87. Nobody paid that. The median listing paid $5.00, and the gap between those two numbers is the whole story of this board: 37 listings, 2.9% of the board, put in $153,068, which is 81% of every dollar it has taken. The other 1,253 listings paid $36,391 between them, averaging $29.04 each.
That is worth knowing before you bid there. A board whose money is concentrated in a few four-figure bidders is one where the visible top is priced by people who are not playing the same game you are.
How the board splits by price

Listing counts cover the whole board. Dollar totals are quoted only where we hold every amount in the band, which is why this table counts listings and not spend.
Common questions
How much money has outbid.lol made?
$189,459 in bids across 1,290 listings, counted from its own public ranking API. That is gross bid volume before payment processing, not profit, and because bids there are permanent it is a running total rather than a monthly figure.
Where does that number come from?
outbid.lol publishes every ranked bid amount through its own /api/ranking endpoint. Adding them up gives the total. Nothing here comes from a screenshot, a reply thread or anyone's estimate, and the capture date is printed alongside the figures.
Is that revenue or profit?
Revenue, and gross at that. Card processing takes a cut, and the figure says nothing about what the site cost to build or run. It is the money that went in, not the money that stayed.
What does the average listing pay?
The mean is $146.87, and it is the wrong number to quote. The median listing paid $5.00. 37 listings paid $153,068 between them, so a handful of large bids drag the average far above what almost everyone actually spent.
Does the total keep rising?
Yes, and it can only rise. Bids on outbid.lol are permanent and nothing is refunded when you are passed, so every payment ever made is still in the total. That is also why the price of #1 there only ratchets upward.
Full disclosure: this page is run by topple.lol, a competing board. That is also why the figures are computed from outbid.lol's own endpoint and dated rather than quoted from anyone: a number a competitor gives you should be one you can go and check.
