Sooooooo.... I was buying up some unique items on ebay about twenty
years ago. At the time, the typical price was under $10 for new, under
$5 for used, delivered! Having cornered the market, the price jumped to
$30+ used, a ten times increase (now in the hundreds new or used). I
jump back surprised, and say, "Damn, people want real money for this
stuff now!" My Native American wife, not missing a beat, "What'd they
want before, beads, and furs...?"
