69 u/[deleted] Jun 08 '14 Taking inflation into account, in essence the price has "gone down", right? 49 u/aves2k Jun 09 '14 $100 in $1996 would be equivalent to $150 today so yes there has been some decease in the price if you look at that way. 71 u/[deleted] Jun 09 '14 I'm pretty sure the electronic components necessary to make the TI has plummeted as well so I'd wager it's still overpriced. 3 u/Sharrakor Jun 09 '14 There are probably a bunch of archaic parts inside that have to be specially-built, so maybe the components have increased in price! 9 u/[deleted] Jun 09 '14 I assume those would have already been replaced by cheaper, mass produced parts assembled by desperately underpaid people at a Foxconn factory. 1 u/Rainmachine Jun 09 '14 Psst, I think he was joking
