Hmm, probably not, it would more than likely stir up too much controversy.

Perhaps if you were just thinking of raw sales price data on specific items, like has been done in the past on The Acaeum, then maybe.  Still, even that could create controversy like "Why was item "X" not included but item "Z" was?" or "You missed this item dumbass!" :)

And this would be bad?
