Inflation innit. A price tripling over 20 years doesn't seem that
unlikely.


Much too high. In the UK, inflation from 1999 to 2019 accounted for a
price rise of about 72%.

You have to go back to 1985 for inflation to triple the value in 2019.


Looks like I should have bought one at the time. There's now way I'll
shell out 4x for it now. Oh well.
