measures what customers want on internet "

Ps. i appreciated your books !!!

Answer
Yes, any auction marketplace can give you an idea of what sells on the Internet and at what price.  If you are selling new or unique goods you can probably get a higher price for the same goods outside of the auctions, because people using the auctions are "trained" to seek lowest price.
