At the first swap meet I went to after I bought my truck I thought the guy selling tach dashes for $75 was crazy.

The VERY FIRST swap meet I went to was right after I got out of high school. I was a first year student at the U of M. A guy on the infield of the MN State Fair Grounds race track was trying to sell a driver's side 1/4 panel for a 1970-1972 Chevelle. This was before they were reproduced so it was the real deal. All the money I had in the whole world added up to $200. He had a price tag of $250 on it. He wouldn't come down. I drove home, bummed $25 off my dad, went back, and still didn't get him to come down.

Now the re-pros are $500!

Sigh.
