I am a member of this forum for over 8 years now and I have given up on counting how many times this topic has popped up in those years. There is absolutely nothing to be gained in kvetching about how expensive the hobby has become. The Ford Model T once sold for $370, which, according to Wikipedia, equates to $7,800 in today´s money. Show me a Ford you can buy these days brand-new for this kind of money! If you can´t afford or are not willing to cash out the prices asked, well, then the only way to stay afloat in this hobby is to make things yourself. Thta´s what folks did when Al Kalmbach published the first copy of MR, which was certainly not a bad way at all!
