Okay, after hunting through my collection of ancient, musty, RQ2 materials I came upon a price list from the RuneQuest Companion, copyright 1983. It claims

RuneQuest...$12.00
Hardcover RuneQuest...$15.00
Boxed RuneQuest...$20.00
SnakePipe Hollow..$6.00
Cults of Prax...$12.00
Foes...$12.00
Plunder...$6.00

RuneMasters...$12.00
Cults of Terror...$10.00
Borderlands...$16.00
Trollpak...$18.00

SoloQuest...$8.00
Questworld...$15.00
Scorpian Hall...$10.00
The Snow Queen's Bride...$6.00
Pavis...$18.00
The Big Rubble...$10.00(probably a typo, since it also claims BR to be a book rather than a boxed set.) RuneQuest Companion....$8.00

Some of these may have had reduced prices, as I think RQ3 was in the pipeline by this point, but I still don't think RQ2 went for $26.00 dollars. I suspect that Jeff's copy was part of some kind on bundle.

Again on the broader point I think Jeff is correct; current prices are indeed at least as good as past ones.
