I think it's a good idea. Im not sure how extensive you will be (i.e. covering all auctions), but it's a good idea considering that the market, especially in pre war, does not really reflect any current price guide. I think for experienced collectors..it may not be a great thing because they already have a good sense of what is overpriced or not (plus, i can understand the sentiment of doing your own research...that's always been a part of the hobby). But for novice and collectors who dont have a lot of time to do tons of research...this is a good service. It will definitely make a lot of dealers who sell primarily through shows and shops a little angry because now collectors have a better gauge of what is available (and their prices) on the auction market compared to what is usually the overpriced stuff that is available at shows. Maybe do a free month trial...especially if, as you stated, there will be flaws at the beginning.
