I know the estimates are pretty useless, but I enjoy seeing them.  I have 45 books in postition 1 with not a single estimate.  I haven't had an estimate in quite some time.  Does anybody else have estimates?

Yup, I have about 25 books with estimates. But they change all the time cause they fall off the estimate list if they haven't been posted in a week or so.

I'm #1 on 30 books, but only five have estimates.

I have 199 books on my WL (and am #1 on 120) and *none* of them have estimates.

Estimates work ok for me.
They seem to work best for popular, but waitlisted books.

Here's one I'm ordering for my daughter.

Catching Fire (Hunger Games, Bk 2) :: Suzanne Collins
ISBN-13: 9780439023498 - ISBN-10: 0439023491 - Book Type: Hardcover
Wish Date: 6/14/2012 - Your position: 230 of 752 - Wishes granted last week: 30 - Estimate: 7 weeks

I'm very grateful for the "last posted" button.
I conjure up my own estimates off of that.
Here's one of my oldest, I really want one specific edition.

Into Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mount Everest Disaster (The Illustrated Edition)

Into Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mount Everest Disaster (The Illustrated Edition) :: Jon Krakauer
ISBN-13: 9780375502804 - ISBN-10: 0375502807 - Book Type: Hardcover
Wish Date: 4/5/2010 - Your position: 4 of 7 - Last Posted: 06/27/2010 - Estimate: N/A

Yeah, I'm never getting that one.
