Yes there is a great old book written by I don't know who about you being the average of your five closest friends.

the BP has a blog somewehre talking about the rule of 5s. basically you round to the closest 5k of repairs. 

Sheesh...this is why I hate writing these things...I always leave people out...I make it no secret that the very first person I ever asked to "please allow me to take you to dinner and pick your brain" was @Steve Olafson (I had to fly to another state to do it and I think he may have even paid for the steak dinner!).

Looked at buying a Steak N Shake, other businesses etc. but it's just too time consuming etc. 

The closest you can come is listening to seller calls.

@Ryan Mullin - the combination of Corelogic's Listsource and RealQuest products would likely be closest comparison.

I spoke with someone yesterday who called me off a yellow letter, and because she is in no pinch to sell, I suggested she list on the MLS because she could get closest to the 'as is' value as possible.

Some people are at their closest point to giving up before they land their first deal.Then you talk to somebody who WANTS to sell their house.They probably will sell it for "not that much" This is where Subjectivity and Perspective come into play.

Dean Letfus , the same reason why I would pay $45 for a $15 steak.
