Is anyone interested in reporting price information (ala a
Beckett's survey) in this notesfile? I am often curious at
shows to know what others have paid recently for the same
card, set, etc. Seems to me that this would be in keeping
with Roy's goal of not getting burned by the certain scum-suckers
out there. Either in the individual card notes as replies, or
via some other method, folks could regularly report want they
have paid or seen offered for the various cards. This is done
now in certain notes, but if it were done on a more comprehensive
basis it would seem we all could avoid over paying for particular
items. Opinions?

I guess the problem would be in organizing the data in a useful, easy
to use fashion. Probably easier to leave it to individual card notes
if someone is interested enough to ask. This hit me the other day when
folks replied to my price question on Pro-Vision fleer football cards,
if I had the price info to reference I possibly might have avoided
buying higher than the going rate. For a few bucks difference when
collecting, it isn't a big deal, but it's helpful to know prices
elsewhere. Especially when everyone at a particular show has around
the same (high) prices for some item.
