    This is a great idea. One of my current "confusions" (I have many....lol) is why an X-MEN LE with better reviews and a pinside ranking consistently in the 30's (has stabilized for awhile now) is selling for around $5K-$5.2K and why a HULK AVLE (which has rankings in the 80's now and still dropping) sells for more. Can't understand that one but the main reason I held off buying a HULK LE a few months ago (prices were in the $6ish range but have come down some) because I figured eventually the HULK LE would sell for the price of the X-MEN LE or even less (since people seem to prefer the X-MEN LE).

    Sometimes the pricing doesn't always "seem to make sense" but many times they correct over time. Personally, I rarely buy a game that is a "dog" as I find they are harder to get rid of when you decide to turn over your collection for some other pins (again why I am probably crazy to even want a HULK LE.....before I know it the game will be ranked in the 100's the way it keeps dropping).

    GREAT JOB as I truly try to use the rankings to help justify purchases to "some degree". However, some games (IM comes to mind) weren't popular when they were made (so production got stopped early) and then became popular later so you have to take into account limited supply as well (IM only had 1,100 made I have been told).

    Some games WW and HS2 always seemed like great values as well as BSD (I own BSD and HS2 and paid less then $3,500 for both and they are great games).

    THANKS FOR DOING THIS !!!!! Brings me back to my statistics class many years ago.
