Hi I just did a search and came up with this website - the GDP Deflator or the CPI seems to be the most logical price comparison http://www.eh.net/hmit/compare/ Heidi Carlson Surnames: CARLSON, CALKINS, ELLIOTT, ALLSUP Hans Van Landschoot <havaland@pandora.be> wrote:HI; is there someone on this list who could help me .

(one hundred fifty-one thousand, five hundred thirty-five dollars and three cents) Also, if you were to buy exactly the same products in 2001 and 1860, they would cost you $8000 and $422.34 respectively. Such calculations can be done at: The Inflation Calculator site <http://www.westegg.com/inflation/infl.cgi. It only goes up to 2001, but there has not been much inflation since then. -r
