Yup, styrene sheets:
2 sheets of Evergreen .015 clear, $2.49 at Hobbytown, a long, long gone hobby shop
3 sheets of Plastruct .060 white, $5.45 also at Hobbytown
1 sheet of Evergreen .040 white tile, $6.95 (a few weeks ago)
You're right Kevin, everything has gone up, some a lot more than others. If I bought those sheets for $2.49 in 2003, they should be around $3.50 for two sheets now based on known inflation rates, not $6.95 for one sheet. Good thought about getting a 3D printer, it should pay for itself in no time.... Plus a lot more fun using it to do what you need...
Real estate is a different thing, that usually doesn't track inflation, more like availability, sometime panic-driven and frequently, speculation. I see houses here going for more than listing price. You never saw bidding wars in the Phoenix area before. Other places, yeah, but not here until now.
