Are Ex WWII Aircraft Getting Cheaper?

I seem to remember 30 years ago that aircraft such as Spitfire's were worth a lot more in real terms then they are today. A quick look for listings shows a 1945 model in great condition (Griffon) for around US$2.2 m and older listing around US$2-3m.

While not saying this is cheap, compared say to housing it doesnt seem to have appreciated much, and doesnt seem to have gone up at all in dollar terms since the 80's? So in real terms they seem to have got a lot cheaper.

Anyone else who has tracked the prices of WW2 warbirds over the years noticed this?
