My experience has been the opposite, so I guess it depends on what kind 
of items you're looking at.  I usually use them as a guide to the value 
of something...if I'm going to buy something, it gives me an idea as to 
what I could buy it for (adding in shipping & maybe exchange/brokerage). 
  If it still comes out quite a bit cheaper, I'd do it that way instead 
for the most part.
