Can you clarify what you mean by "full paperback prices"?

I have the complete
Jack Aubry series starting in at $10.95, and the entire
Flashman series starting at $14. That doesn't sound too bad, but these started in 1970 and 1984 respectively. Prices were a little bit cheaper then.
Just checked, (barring books from the '30s, '40s, '50s, and '60s) the oldest book left on my shelves is a 470 page 1984 Louis L'Amour book
The Walking Drum at $4.50.
Last year I bought two
Simon Scarrow ebooks at $9.99 and two
Steven Saylor ebooks, also at $9.99.
I'm trying to justify buying
Following the Drum: Women at the Valley Forge Encampment for $22. This book may be of interest to me, but when I die it'll be thrown away.
The rest of my ebooks were between $1 and $6.
In short, "full paperback prices", to me, are around $10, but I am willing to pay more when necessary.
