Points of view

Well.

It's a free market. more supply->prices down. The more demand, prices up. Right! Prices are mostly ok... or not??

I consider another point of view.
In the end, we are talking about buying useless devices for most of the people nowadays. You can't say it's a good deal to spend 1/10 of the original price for a new deck. It's useless for most of the people!
Its value may be zero.

We are a bunch of romantics/collectors/etc that still buy and pay for them. But there are thousands of decks with no use. I would pay a some money for a rare deck, but not for a just high end deck.

This is just another point of view. I don't really follow it, I paid 200 euros for a similar ranged deck, and more for a older very used deck. But I don't want to mentally get used to these prices. They should be less, like in the US.
