Deleting the price guide would have some positive impacts for sellers, buyers,
and BrickLink. It would help prevent a slow downward spiraling of prices (and
profits) because there would be no easy way for stores to set their prices at
6-month averages minus 10% (or whatever). For buyers, good deals would come up
more often, as sellers would list items for what they think they can get, instead
of based on previous (possibly misleading) prices.

For BrickLink, it could become a new revenue source if they granted access for
a fee (say, $10 per month for access to the full price guide).

I am not arguing in favor of this. But I am arguing that it is not nonsense.

I think what would first happen is that an third-party website will do the job
of harvesting the prices and calculating averages.
“Sold” will be lost but “for sale” will still be there.

[...] I don't think it's a nonsense suggestion. It may not be a good idea, and it might not even have been serious, but I do think that it is an idea worth considering. [...]
