Overall, yes, I agree. But the market for certain items will narrow as prices go up.

Everything is relative, so take this example FWIW. Five years ago, card X sold for $1000. Today that card sells for $5000. Person Y can deal with dropping $1000 for a card, but not $5000. That person is now out of that market.

Full disclosure... my salary has not quintupled in the last five years.
