    Let's do a quick reality check to show how much prices have escalated:

    I'll compare prices for what I paid against prices from "back in the day" pricing. This is only for the games I currently own.

    TAF: $900 to $2400 based on prices listed here; I paid: $5500 in 2016
    CFTBL: $800 to $2100 based on prices listed here; I paid: $5200 in 2017
    BSD: $900 to $1500 based on prices listed here; I paid: $2400 in 2016
    Shadow: $1100 - $1650 based on prices listed here; I paid: $4200 just this week
    Scared Stiff: $1395 to $3450 based on prices listed here; I paid: $6800 in 2019

    So taking the max prices of each game from "back in the day" and combining them yields a total of: $11,100 for all 5 games.

    What I paid just for those five games alone from 2016 to present yields a total of: $24,100 for all 5 games.

    $11,100 for 5 games back then vs. $24,100 today! I could buy all five games back in the day or just CFTBL today

    HELL YEAH!!!!!

    So glad prices are up - makes this hobby great!!!!
