Has anyone else noticed how insanely over priced everything is right now? I used to rent
a 3000 squarefoot house with another 3000 squarefoot of land to go with it for $1400 a month from 2009 to 2018, now something like that would be $4000 a month. As someone who's been buying and selling everything from computer components to vehicles via craigslist for the past 10 years, this is somewhat worrying. Cars that I used to buy for a couple thousand 5 years ago are selling for double the price even though they've had 5 more years of depreciation. Bicycles that wal mart used to sell for $79 are being sold by resellers for $200. People are asking for almost the retail price of current gen computer hardware for last gen hardware. People actually have the nerve to ask for money for piss stained furniture that people used to give away for free What the fuck is going on?

They’re figuring out how to squeeze the leftover income that people have. It’s been said that rent accounts for about 50 percent of people’s income now, but if you’re a landlord why would you want to settle for 50 percent? Why not 90 percent? The same concept of price creep is moving into other sectors.

That a type r, most likely extremely low miles. I wouldn’t pay that price but I grew when that was the hottest and rarest thing available.

lmao at americans who always get the shittest variants of japanese sports cars, inflate the prices and have terrible modifications and taste 10 years behind the rest of the world. God can only get retribution against america for ruining the skyline market. Prices inflated based upon speculation and forbidden fruit mentality, and the fun, knockabout culture ruined by people who unironically think they are supercars and not just fun sports cars, hoard muh 'rare' (read: shit) JDM parts and now try to gatekeep people who aren't involved in the race to the bottom to find 'muh nismo old logo!1! rare part le JDM rare!'.

I think the now entire absence of a platform where you could (if you weren't too fussy) buy literal shit for $1.00 had a lot to do with prices and expectations now in general.

Real inflation is out the wazoo. Government just increasingly subsidizes food, and there is real cheap entertainment now which is why people don't notice. Its complete joke really. Rent, healthcare, etc. shit is just sky rocketing and the government is nope inflation is only 2% because that phone you bought has 10% more pixels but only cost 8% more. Meanwhile the quality of life just goes to shit.

In the background the fed is just inflating the fuck out of our money, devaluing our savings and future income to bail out multinational zombie corporations again and again so they can continue to pay million dollar bonuses and stock incentives. We as a society pretty much rain wealth down on billionaires and heirs while the lower class are essentially debt slaves. Prices constantly going up but wages staying the same, while you're born into massive life long debt (student debt, lunch debt, etc.)

We have reached peak neofeudalist capitalism.

Factor in inflation alone and it's worth double.

And if Its a type R...and in mint condition with low miles, then yeah. I can see it going for that.

When you have something of rarity, you get to charge for rarity. You can find old shitter integras no problem. A mint , garage kept, type R with low mileage...different story.

Some asshole with more money than he knows what to do with bought the car for that much as a way of setting the value for it. Now, the value of every single Integra type R has increased slightly because of this sale. This is how rich people make markets. This is also why art sells for so much money.

This, I haven't seen or heard an ad on radio, the internet, TV, in about 2 years now. When ever I see billboards trying to sell something, they look like they're pandering to retards. And who the fuck needs a phone plan where they 'give' you an upgrade every year? Is it really true that consumer spending is 70% of our GDP now?
