Is it my imagination or are the AMD 3200 processors going up in price?

Looks like the retail XP3200+ has come down a little in the past few months.

A locked Barton 2500+ can almost always reach 3200+ speeds on a decent
motherboard. The Mobile 2500+ is even better in this regard. Both are less
than $90US.
