I agree, I think a printed document would be the best way to go. I've
noticed that some auctions on eBay are starting to refer to Skip's web
page for pricing guidelines (they actually state that in the auction
description!). As valuable as Skip's information is to us, I think having
such a freely available resource accessible to everyone may ultimately
work against us. If enough sellers used and recognised an on-line pricing
database as an authoritive source, that may have the effect of keeping
prices elevated.
