It would be nice if the original price of each set was posted in one of the menus.

there has been a time when MSRP was 'mentioned' in the menus, I'm
glad (and many others with me) it got removed. MSRP is different in different
parts of the world and is only a guideline / valid when a set is still *actively*
running. Once it's end-of-life it becomes irrelevant what MSRP *used to be*,
so it would require active 'control' over the database and the priceguide
and even that wouldn't be accurate, as end-of-life ain't equal in all
regions at the same time... So it's falsified data that has no place whatsoever
on a selling website, such data is available on 'non commercial' websites,
quite fine IMHO.
