[Timo]

Cheapest I've found for a new TI|2 Polar/Kbd in the UK is £2,045 ($3,372 USD). Snow is £825 ($1,360 USD). TI|2 Desktop is £1,489 ($2,455 USD)

I remember when the Virus Indigo was first released it used to be £1,150 ($1,896).

The cost went up a good few hundred £ when the TI|2 was released. The TI|1 kbd/polar was around £1,500 ($2,473), but the TI|2 kbd/polar jumped in at around £1,800 ($2,968 ) when it was launched. However I remember Marc saying he didn't understand why this was, as Access still sold them to retailers at the same price as their former TI|1. So a bit of price-fixing has gone off.

The price has gone up a further £250 ($400) since 2009, when the TI|2 was released.

The international economy is also in a completely different place to what it was back then. The TI|2 was released when the global recession was at its worst, and the EU was a complete mess, everyone thought the €uro currency was going to collapse due to Greece etc. and prices were really volatile. Just like petrol/gas, companies love to put up the prices quickly during a time of crisis, but rarely lower them afterwards.
