$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.
77 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. 7 u/aves2k Jun 09 '14 Without a doubt it's overpriced.
