I maintain that Ebay does reflect the state of the
market subject to a
couple of limitations.
1) Ebay is a *retail* venue although bargains can be had.
2) Looking at *only* the final bid price to determine value is stupid!
My general rule of thumb is to go back to the third highest bidder as
that eliminates the "game players" who bid with the "Oh yea, take
this"
mentality.
I think it's worth reiterating that eBay is only one data point.
