Agreed, and I've added this to my feature request list.

We're already doing this to a limited extent. I call it the "weighted rating" and it's used in the default "sort by availability" option. In that sort, a product with ten reviews averaging 4.5 stars, for example, will show up above a product with only two 5-star reviews.

However, "sort by availability" sorts first product availability, and then by the weighted rating. So products that don't have any retailers listed are shown only after currently-available products with no reviews. The practical effect is that a few products with reviews get pushed way down the list, but that mostly affects discontinued products, which are of little interest to most people using the site.
