Unfortunately that is a hard reality of life and how it has always been without intending to sound crass or insensitive.
I expect many low income families could not spare the funds for the items you or I currently have for sale in the classifieds.
Long gone are the days when this was an inexpensive, swapsie hobby enjoyed by school children. For decades the hobby has increasingly grown out of reach for many.

I’m surprised more SF collectors have not yet commented on this patch or ventured opinions on the current price.
I should like to hear the opinions of Mike B, Belly, 3battalion, HamandJam et al.
