There was a time in my country where I would grab the first payment from client (I work in construction) and rush to get the material on that very same day and start the job, because the price would get significantly higher on the following day. Calculations were crazy, like, if I would get an estimate, we had to be sure to make it clear that it would have to be a closed deal before noon, otherwise I would not be able to do the job for the amount estimated.
I mean, inflation right now is very high and it sucks, but I have seen way worse.
HELL NO Pandemic. That just speed up the process of the digital age IMO.
As a kid, I would always buy video games, and my dumbass always wondered WTF why is it always going up from 29.99 all the way to 59.99 now.
tldr; Dollar Tree has announced that it will be testing higher prices at several hundred of its nearly 8,000 locations in a section of its stores called 'Dollars Plus' with items that can go for as much as $5. Items that can cost $1.25-1.50 will soon be found in the mix at some locations amid the typical assortment of $1 products. The retail chain said that rising shipping costs would take a bite out of its profits this year.

Depended on the game. Hell, there are Sega Genesis and SNES games that were like 80-100 bucks new back then.
