In 1969 a whole Ford Capri was about Ā£800, for a reproduction rear quarter panel youā€™ll need to shell out Ā£1500.
Two/Three years ago a Yellow Tang for your aquarium would of cost Ā£45, now Ā£350.
Simple supply and demand.

Thereā€™s a world of people there buying crap they and about four other people want but if thereā€™s only 3 of them somewhere, someone is going to pay a silly amount of money for something because they can. Look at antiques road show, plenty of ugly and expensive vases!

Itā€™s simply because Hawaii has closed and most all of them came from Hawaii, it also effects stuff which would of ported and flown from Hawaii. Indonesia closed for a bit and it sent prices mad, corals are significantly more expensive now. Fish and corals have a very low price per unit to the wholesalers, itā€™s the air freight and with the lack of flights with Covid compounding the market closures itā€™s caused huge inflation.
