How historically accurate are the catalog prices in RDO? To answer this I compared the historical prices in the 1898 Sears & Roebucks catalog with the prices in RDO's Wheeler & Rawson catalog. Additionally, I used a variety of primary and secondary sources. While I didn't have time to cover all the items available in the Wheeler & Rawson catalog, enough items were compared to come to a general consensus on in-game price inflation. It's all in good fun. Enjoy!
Topics include: Express cartridges prices; Tonic prices; Coffee prices; Pineapple prices; Salmon prices; Fishing lure prices; Wagon prices; Glove prices; Hammer prices; Sweater prices; Cartridge belt prices; Shovel prices; Stew pot prices; Cost of land per acre in 1898.

About Man vs History:
Man vs History is a YouTube channel that endeavors to combine both education and entertainment, specifically related to history. While the focus of the channel will expand beyond analyzing the historical accuracy of RDO, for the time being, there's still more quality videos to come on the topic.
For the past decade I've been history professor at the college level. The knowledge and skills I acquired through my educational journey and profession are put to work in the creation of these videos, allowing me to locate rare primary source materials, analyze them carefully, and coherently deliver the content in an entertaining and educational manner. For each one I conduct an immense amount of research, scouring American and British archives, books, and scholarly journal articles. Gratefully, my profession also grants me access to a network of historical experts & specialists including authors, university professors, and museum curators. I hope you enjoy the end result!
