This is kinda a rough estimate, but perhaps around 6000 in total?

I think it's probably around 5000 actually.

Remurr has a 3.5k ID at the very end of 2007;

December 28th, 2007. Joined the forums on January 1, 2008. 3503

So we can assume '08 started with 3.5-4k IDs.

I have 7482 in September, so roughly 4000 IDs in 9 months.
I think it's fair to assume in the last 3 months of '08 that we at least reached 8k IDs.
Unless I missed them, no 9k IDs have given an accurate date.
I guess they either came December or January. Leaving '08 with either 8 or 9k IDs.

So a fair guess is that 4500 to 5500 IDs were sold in 2008.
Which at the then price of $20, was worth $90,000 to $110,000.

I was basing my assumptions of this graph I was making:

Each pixel represents 500 IDs and 0.6months, and based on this it shows that roughly 6000 people joined between the end of 2007 and 2008.
It's still not very accurate, and there's no way to be certain of the ID shown to be the highest at that point of time, but I find the correlation quite interesting.
