Seems to me there is motivation for a "CR-Values" list with its own set of rules. People would discuss values on the values list, with complete understanding of the caveats, and not pollute the CR list with values discussions. Because Ebay removes auctions after 90 days, it would be a useful service if interested parties could post Ebay auction results to the list, preserving the information for search purposes.

Just a suggestion.
