This is true, and I'm sure the internet will play a big role in it now more than ever.
As in, local CraigsList "closet clean outs" will perhaps be the new "Pawnshop Find" because the seller doesn't take the time to research the item and a savvy watcher shows up, does the deal in cash, and moves along. Free-market and all. But, people who choose to go to sites like Reddit and ask "Hey found this how much is it worth?" have a much better chance of receiving market value, whatever that may be. Personally I think a lot of used guitars are woefully over priced and I'd enjoy watching the market change a bit more.
