Yes, and?

If they list the prices on their sites - then this are the prices which I'm
interesting.
If I'll go to an anticariat, there I may also get discounts on the prices on
the labels.
If you buy a used car, gosh, the seller will think, that you're not right in
brain, if you won't to try to haggle.
Go to a stamp or coin auctions - there are never paid the prices given in
the catalogue.

Such a list is good for orientation. If one has a 100% superoriented,
crusted specimen, one will tend to ask or to pay higher prices than the
average, if one has a 3 pounder, one will ask less and so on.
The best clue for that the time I spent in compiling the lists was not
wasted was, that the trade offers I got or I made, when I was the little
Martin, even more unknown as now, fitted exactly to the given average price
from my list and all parnters were content.

Miau,
says my cat.
Martin

You forgot something, Martin: A lot of these dealers offer SUBSTANTIAL
rebates if you ask for them :-)

In so far the prices on the sites tend to be higher than they are.
