To be able to maintain your own shop and to participate in the development of pricing, it would be useful for many shop owners to be able to filter on 'offer price higher than catalog value'. Or sort your offers in relation to other offers (location within the market) and/or LD catalog value (am I an expensive shop or not).
With such functionalities you could also find and correct many of your own unnoticed mistakes (mistakes). Now such mistakes sometimes survive for years.

1. There are regularly items that are offered far above the catalog value due to a decimal problem. You can find the highest outliers by sorting by price in your shop (75 euros in the range where the user had intended 0.75 euros). Some of those offers have survived in those shops for several years.
You can't get rid of the smaller differences that way ... you have to open item by item in the detail. For a stamp shop with several thousand items, this is no easy task.

2. An offer of 1.00 euros may have been normal 10 years ago. With a growing range of an item in multiple shops, this can quickly become outdated. If at some point the catalog value reaches 0.50, then such an offer at 1 euro will be ripe for review.
Shops that have been present on LD (formerly CW) for a long time can give the potential buyer the impression that they are way too expensive (and then that shop is further ignored). Simply because the pricing of a number of items, which have been in the shop for quite some time, is outdated.

Perhaps an idea to provide this 'new' for the higher subscriptions. Then such a user feels what his/her subscription fee is for.

Primary:
-> filter on 'offer price > LD catalog value' (for the stated condition)

Luxury:
-> location (%tage) of your offer relative to LD catalog value, with the option to sort on that %tage. The shop owner can then regularly extract and update the 'tops'

Extensive luxury:
-> additional positioning of your offer within the rest of the offer of that item on LD. With, of course, the option to sort on it. The shop owner who thinks that his shop is not running well enough (to get his subscription money out of it) then has an instrument in his hands to see if it is not due to his prices, and to do something about it.
Those who really want to 'sell out' (because of age or other reasons) can then influence (speed up or slow down) the speed of that sale process with such a tool.
