Thanks to both of you... just to follow-up: you both mentioned auction sites -- is there a way to find prices for "completed auctions"? Also, for consumers (who primarily deal with dealers and/or private sales versus auctions), would the best bet to research be to look at comparables on autotrader, etc and then including a slight discount?
