Right. In these days of higher inflation it almost seems rediculous to do such a thing as tie the price to the model.
As you might recall from my earlier posts, I was in a quandry as to what exactly I had bought and whether it was a good deal or a great deal. The 'original hang tag' (as the seller described it) had the right serial number but identified it as an LS120. However, using the excellent resources on the registry, I determined that it was actually an LC100 (which apparently would have sold for 100,000 yen in 1982). Now, I would have thought that a Custom would have sold for more than a Standard but in the 82' catalog it seems that there was already an LS200 (which I guess sold for twice as much as my LC100). Now I'm not really much at currency conversion but it sure seems that 200,000 yen in 82' was a lot of money - especially for a 'copy'. How much would a real Gibby cost back then?
