That should be true. I have about a dozen of Aero Minis and got them all from local German market, most are common types. I always paid between 10,- and 20,- Euro, even though any of them was at least mint, some even boxed. That is in some cases even below the original retail price more than 30 years ago. I have seen, that the prices in USA and UK for these common things went down drastically as well.
For me this is a good development, because the fascination is about the models/castings and not about the different and rare liveries/paint. I will leave it up to the pure Aero Mini collectors to hunt these things for hundreds of bucks.
