"great, that will bring the prices down within auction result searches"

If you're using the auction results so precisely that this makes a big difference there are other problems. What about auctions that end at 3 in the morning? What about listings that the buyer paid extra to have bolded or displayed more prominently? What about listing where the pictures are blurry? What about listings where the under bidder fell asleep at the end and would have bid the item higher?

All of these things will have an effect on price (higher and lower), which is why the auction results should be used as a guide for pricing, but it would be silly to use them as gospel.
