Problem with an app like this, is that it'd need to have a 'complete' list of all the games, which can and will never happen. Besides, whats going to stop people from spoofing prices, using eBay buys and the like to try and jilt the 'value'. There is no way to really regulate things.

Thats why our values were built on way more than what eBay used to bring, what stores sold it for in one area. It was a general pulse, that when the net was young, older systems were being less influenced by bloggers and multiple collecting sites and what some kook posting A copy of a game well over value completely changing a base value practically overnight.

What i'd hope for from an online phone guide, besides being on iOS is there is a rarity guide and a blurb on the game. Prices could be updated, but as the DP guide was set up to be, its a price that had been designed not to be the top or bottom, but in general, a price that wouldn't get you pimp slapped for offering it. The online phone guide doesn't need it, because people have conditioned themselves so much to just 'check' eBay and similar places that have become the go-to's for pricing.
