    Easy availability over the Internet increases both supply and   
   demand. As a buyer, you indeed have much more supply available; but   
   as a seller there are also many more available buyers.   
    I think the primary effect will be (is?) more even markets world   
   wide (less variability from one place to another) rather than an   
   increase or decrease in prices.
