This is fascinating. What's the auction man at the end saying?

it looks like he's asking how many people are still in at a certain price point (though my japanese is terrible)

fantastic video btw.

My Japanese is fairly fluent, but the guy around 08:00 is pretty much totally incomprehensible...

The later dude at 10:00 seems to be announcing lot numbers ("16-ban"), doing the auction in ten-thousands ("75" for 75,000 yen?) and then announcing the winner ("Ebisuuuuu!") before going to the next.
