Of course they are overpriced, at least many of them. Those are retail or asking prices. As pointed out below, we don't usually see the actual selling price. But, they do show Auction prices, this is a huge help.
Another source is Fastline. It seems with these sources you should be able to get in the ball park.
Over the last year I have been looking for a tractor. I put together a spread sheet to track tractor prices in my interest category with a simple equation to take into account hours and put them on an equal basis. Maybe crude but I found it to be effective. As has been said below, tractors that numerically rated well with my equation sold quickly. Those that did not seemed to stick around forever. I did buy a tractor and when the time came I knew I was in the right price area. My equation did not take into account historical care of the tractor so I had make a qualitative judgement. As for particular dealers or sources it also became very clear who I would not be buying from; their prices were numerically high.
So my point is, TH and Fastline and others offer a valuable service, you just need to think about what they represent and how to use them.

Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day.
