I remember when SeatGeek presented at TechCrunch Disrupt(?) in 2009, pg took issue at the fact that they didn't use their ticket price data to arbitrage the secondary ticket market. Does Pricenomics use its data to arbitrage any markets, and if not, why should the same criticism not apply? All that aside, Pricenomics looks compelling. Hopefully it will substantially increase the efficiency of second hand "stuff" markets.

We've been investigating arbitraging Aeron chairs. We're finding they're very hard to lug around. We'll keep you posted!

Haha. I thought you were being facetious until I saw it on your about page. Now I'm not sure what to think :/

But wouldn't that be worse for the users?
