getting close again to my guess:

$63,775USD

The Gamester81 interview seems to have the opposite effect of what they wanted

edit:
another person backed out so getting even closer
$63,436USD

$420,000
420? I want what this guy's smoking!

this guy gets the late joke, but if we're looking for honesty - at this point I'd be amazed if they get another penny
NW: Hey, I made it on this psycho's Enemies' List, how about that ?? ;)

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

You can't tell most retro gamers anything!

Spenoza: The wannabe masculinity just overwhelms.

Looks like it just took another decent hit.  Down to $63,925.  I don't think you can cancel an indiegogo campaign after someone pledges.

That will make this even sweeter.

Of course, y'all we see a surge in pledges during the final 12-18 hours....

$666,666.

It was down to $63,888 before the $10 & $37 "anonymous" pledges.

4 of the last 5 "backers" have been "anonymous" and either $37 or $10.

Looks like there's a few fans of the system trying to stop the whole thing from just becoming a stampede out.

[EDIT 3:15PM PST]

Another 3 "full-system" backers gone, down to $62,733.

Yeah, looking like I way overshot this one.  My expectation was that it would get a slow trickle of backers everyday, but it's been more like a drip.  That a plumber keeps fixing.

I think this console misses the trick that people want to play retro games for the games themselves and not just because it is a physical thing. This console doesn't play retro games.
I think it will barely get higher than $74,000 before the bottom falls out if it hasn't already
