is the auction site accurate?

Neither site really accounts for haggling done behind the scenes. The prices are just the "sticker price."

Of course it doesn't, but it does a fairly good job. Especially for commonly sold items. In theory it could be way off, but is it in practice? Can you give specific examples of where it's way off on average listed price?

I usually find that the people trying to screw you over the most with prices don't advertise the prices, so a site like p99 auctions usually benefits buyers.
