Maybe it will make some money for the author, but
prices are just too
variable and too fast changing for a printed guide to be of much

pages with the top 500 things to look for, each item getting an
average of a 1/4 page for a photo, or maybe a shared photo, with a
description and price range. Sell one to every scrapper in the world,
and those 500 things become a LOT more available.
The guide I speak of is in the manner of what you describe.
Prices are in ranges. The underlying caveat, as with anything, is that
actual value can range from "free" to "umpteen gazillion dollars".
