This idea was already tried here and it bombed in spectacular fashion. If you
want that information, try Brickset.

Cheers,
Randy

Bricklink tried that once years ago. A lot of people didn't like it, so
it didn't last long. You can always check retail prices on Brickset.

Which original sales prices do you want to know?
The US Dollar, Euro, German Mark, French France, Belgian France, Dutch Guilder,
British 'Pound, Italian Lire, Swiss Franc, Australian Dollar, Japanese Yen,
Brazilian Real, or another of the many other currencies?

What you need to understand is that there is no one retail price. Whatever price
is displayed, even if it were correct in most stores, will not be correct at
all sales locations.

To give you a classic example, the NBA collector sets (issued 2003) were sold
for $6.99 in most stores, but sold for $7.99 at WalMart. When the normal outlets
finished their shelf run, Dollar General sold them for $1 each. So there were
many starting prices that year.
