Yes indeed and some used items cost more now than their list price at the time of manufacture. Including some speakers.
Think of a pair of Quad ESLs manufactured in, say, 1969. They were roughly 114 gbp a pair in thier homeland (actual price was 54 gns each - then they were sold singly). That's about $140. If anyone can find a good pair of them for $140 then they are more than in luck! With the OP's reckoning they ought to be around $35 a pair or less. Over here currently they sell for the equivalent of around $1000 plus.
Of course Garrard 301 and 401 turntables now cost considerably more than their original price.
Just some examples there of why monetary inflation has to be accounted for.
I have concluded that what the OP really means is that he can't afford them.
