Use the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics'
inflation calculator
to see what items cost in today's dollars. For instance, that $5.95
Chance-Vaught Corsair F4U-1 control line model
would be $50.94 in 2013 money - a 10x increase in inflation! I paid about $60 for the
kit on eBay a couple years ago, so it definitely has collector value that outpaces inflation.
