In following years, as the price rises, we can add notes about the change in the

Occasionally, I have noted prices (for sets at least a few years old) that
looked like S@H prices. IIRC, S@H used to list an inflated (including shipping)
price, but recently (within the last year or two) switched to a 'plus shipping'

observation is correct, then some of the older prices in the DB are slightly
inflated from MSRP. This would be an issue with non-DACTA sets tho.
