$1.00 in 1964 had about the same buying power as
$6.83 2008.
You are totally nuts. A gallon of gas, a magazine, a
paperback, a
pack of cigs, a six pack, were all a quarter in 1964. A
.Colt 1911
.45 pistol was $62.50. Levi's were $2.25.

Go check it your self , they're all over $6.00
Go check what? My point was that the factor of six figure
was bogus.
What am I supposed to check? That gas and cigs were a
quarter in 64?
I was there.
Casady
The $6.83 figure is accurate.
Sure it is. As you would have it, not 6.82 or 6.84.
Come back when you have something not prima facie bogus.
You're both wrong. I was paying a dime for a pack of cigs in '64.
No, you weren't.
I was paying 25 cents a pack for them in 1974.
At the PX ?
Yep.
And a nickel for a Snickers bar.
Nope. That's what it cost in 1930. It was a quarter in 1964.
12 cents at 7-11 in 1971.
Must have been on sale or after Halloween discount ;~)
25 cents got you two candy bars.
