Everything was more expensive the first year it was released, but dropped significantly in just a few years. Only the gadget crazed bought in the first six months of a new product's release (my dad was one of those). My mom -the SINGLE WAGE EARNER in our home (men weren't the only ones working)- got a microwave in 1977 for about $200, but it lasted more than 20 years. Can't say as much for the gadgets today.
