I went back 5 years on the forum, cheapest with discounts I saw was $73-75 5 years ago, and $99.
Everyone jumped on Moss Wood 2012 here, but no one said a word about 2011 for $20 more. You could say certain vintages hold more value, or simply it's gone up in time.
$55 is a great price, I'm sure if they popped up everyone would jump on that. But, we can't really compare a deal years ago to what's available today.
I don't exactly know what you're trying to argue here. I'm not paying $199, I've paid $100 for a 15 year old wine I want to drink soon. I don't have a time machine, if so I'd happily buy it for $55.
Used cars are 20% more expensive, property has jumped 20% this year...I mean even aged wine goes up in value.
Just remember everyday at auction, or in store people pay over $150 for Basket Press and it's $75 as a member. You win some, you lose some.
