prices down. While that might sound good at first, it isn't all that good
for sellers, and if sellers go away, well, what's left...buyers with nothing
to buy. I'm not dead-set against this, but if it does reduce the amount of
sellers here, less competition is not a good thing for this site.

Interesting. I am not certain that I see how this would drive down prices. Buyers
who are very price-oriented already do comparison shopping. Really, what puts
the most downward pressure on prices is the Price Guide itself.

Yes, it does, I agree. Ebay doesn't offer the kind of price guide that BL
offers. Honestly, I am not all that familiar with BO, but the times I've
gone there, I come away frustrated. I have an account, but have yet to buy there,
or sell for that matter, so I can't really judge. I will say this, the prices
on Ebay are usually quite a bit higher than here. So, what your are saying is
probably true. Someone today even stated that their profits are higher on BO,
so that pretty much backs you up. As far as whether the link to the catalog would
reduce prices further, that is just a guess, but would not be good if it did,
IMO.
