Why no built in Price Guide on Wiki pages?

Can't help but think back issue values would add quite a bit to the site.

Can anyone give a link to anywhere this has been discussed on the site?

@turoksonofstone: it's been a lot of years since this was last discussed, I believe it came down to not being what the site is about, we are not a price guide site. I know for sure that I've been shot down by staff a couple times asking to have a price field added to issue pages so we could put the cover price and I think the reason I was given is that it wasn't needed cause it is usually on the cover...

Doesn't it also wildly fluctuate and change over time?

@blueecho: there is that too, it would be impossible for us to be accurate in any way.

plus since we are not an official appraisal/grading service we would have to take those values from another site which would be a form of plagiarism and probably not something any other sites would be happy with us taking.

would be an insane amount of work as well.

@pikahyper: It would be an insane amount of work to do once, and then it updates every year.

@blueecho: oh it updates way more that, depends on the site and how old the comic is, some stuff changes daily :/

What do you mean the first issue of Spawn won't get my kids through college?

@pikahyper: gotcha.
