I agree... the information there is invaluble to sellers.. they can watch auction trends or price drops and peaks.
Not to mention it would be invalube to pop culture... I mean we could look at what was auctioned off during 9/11, or how much people paid for lebron james jerseys, or all those other stupid eBay auctions would be stored forever.

Yes, but does either of these reasons get extra income for E-Bay, the for-profit company?
