Evel Knievel - $2195
Captain Fantastic $1275
Big Hit $1325
etc. etc. etc.
Look what I found

Very cool find!
I dug out an old 2004 starburst auction list with prices from one of my games... always interesting to see what stuff sold for.

Look at the typo for Jungle Princess on the third line. Someone had to type that whole list on a typewriter. No wonder the prices were good for 10 weeks.

I'm not sure we can 100% trust these online calculator. I don't think a Pro Stern is worth 9500$ yet.Chris Silver wrote:So equal time in the future it's going to be over $38,000 for a new machine today. LOL
But yeah, people don't always realize that, inflation exists, and you will be earning accordingly

Because I was bored and wanted to try out some OCR software I captured the OP's newly discovered price list into a searchable pdf.
