Ridiculous price for a near-30 year old Honda.

BaT occasionally has them for slightly less insane prices. I wouldn't buy any RHD vehicle in Canada though. The extra risk of getting mashed turning left because you can't see across the other person turning left opposite you at an intersection :S

the ~$3k auction price doesn't include the thousands to get it here either. But SiR not exactly common here for the generation from memory.

Definitely isn't common. The 96-97 run sold significantly less than 10K each in the USA. Canadian sales were probably lucky to break a thousand each and I doubt they broke 500 personally.

I'd guess only 10-20% were the 'VTEC' trim (USDM version of the SiR). It's a shame because the B16 was a great engine while the d-series in the S and Si were definitely lacking.
 
Went to double check max ram speed my motherboard would support (considering swapping out 3200 CL 16 for something faster while DDR4 is still available) and saw this on newegg.

AM4 not AM4+ variant, newegg allowing some really questionable practices on their own site.

I really don't understand this pricing method for old hardware. Don't you want to get rid of your inventory for something old and outdated? I mean don't they understand the law of supply and demand? More like they think supply is limited and therefore demand is not in the equation? I could build a new AM5 5600X machine with that pricing.

It's the opposite for them. They want to capitalize on low or non-existent stock.
 
I suspect it's some kind of pricing algorithm. When a once popular item gets down to just a few units it starts applying the "corporate box, need to replace broken part with exactly the same outdated/scarce hardware" price.

If it's a corporate board, I can understand this level of pricing because you can just swap the board and be back on your feet. But for consumer level stuff, this is crazy.
