I disagree - I load fluctuating commodity pricing into my company's ERP
system daily and have to routinely determine cost for "gravel" items -
switches, plates, components, etc. They go up or down by pennies, or less,
but when you buy in sufficient bulk, the pennies can add up to thousands of
dollars at a whack. Since I do this professionally, I feel I can speak with
some authority on the subject.

My point, with sufficient history, you can take the selling price of any
item and average it, easily accounting for spikes (low bids, high bids) and
establish a current market value. Your "wildcard" will likely be NIB and
premium items (accelerators for example) or items that aren't available
frequently (rareness), they will have the greatest variance and should
probably be calculated seperately. eBay isn't that different from any other
commodity market except it's slower and easier track. People are willing to
pay up to x price point for y item pretty consistently, with the exception
for premium "hard to come by" items -- then all bets are off. Fortunately,
the IIe LC card is pretty common, even with the companion cable.
