I've had a similar experience in both bikes and whole-boiled Hmong chickens.
One time I was looking for a bike and didn't go to Walmart but to an actual bike shop. The minuted I got inside, I saw price tags in the 5K to 15K range.
I stepped out immediately.
I went to a Hmong flea market to see if I could get some lunch one time. I saw some whole-boiled chickens on the counter of a deli. I touched the container and was turning the chicken around to look at it to see if it might be clean enough. I asked how much one was. The vendor's lady said, "kaum peb duas os."
I shook my hand off the container and turned to something else.
Top shelf bicycle prices have jumped quiet a bit too:
