but 2007’s are going for $12,000 - $13,000

restaurant, bars, clubs, hotel, luxury brand retail, leisure, etc.
post? Been dealing with inflated prices all throughout COVID. Need any renovation or housework done there's a COVID premium. A lot of places not even having sales. The lack of supply for a lot of products just pushes up the price....no sales on items that are low stock.

Increased Demand Is Making Uber and Lyft Cost as Much as a Plane Ride
People are really going out and about following vaccinations.
According to reports, increased demand in the last few months has caused Uber and Lyft rides to double in price throughout the United States. Aside from people really going out and about following vaccinations, not all ride-hailing drivers have resumed business just yet.
With demand outweighing supply, price surging has become extremely common nationwide, some riders are even reporting that ride quotes are almost as expensive as a plane ride. Riders are also experiencing extended wait times or not seeing any nearby drivers at all. A recent analysis is showing that the cost of a ride in April was up 40 percent from the same time last year.
In the last four weeks, Uber has put up $250 million USD in payments and incentives to bring 100,000 drivers back to its platform. While Lyft spent $100 million USD on driver incentives during the first quarter of the year to meet the increased demand. Both Uber and Lyft are expecting that riders will continue to see increased prices for the next few months with prices expected to level out near the end of the second quarter of the year.

This was expected across all industries. This is how capitalism works. Sudden high demand means higher prices.

I doubt this has anything to do with inflation and more to do with surge prices that have always happened when there are more riders than drivers in a certain area
these days you have to have multiple apps installed and go with the cheapest option. On saturday i used bolt for the first time and saved myself £10 for a journey that used to cost £6-8 
If you only have one app installed get another one asap
If you only have one app installed get another one asap

Inflation in Rich Countries Hit a 12-Year High in AprilI doubt this has anything to do with inflation and more to do with surge prices that have always happened when there are more riders than drivers in a certain area
Jump in oil prices has led some to see echoes of the 1970s, but increase in supply suggests pressures will be temporary

Consumer prices across the rich world rose at the fastest pace in more than 12 years during April, as central bankers try to figure out whether shortages that have emerged as the global economy reopens will prove transitory or have long-lasting consequences.
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development Wednesday said consumer prices in its 36 members, which are mostly rich countries, were 3.3% higher than in April 2020. That was the largest increase since October 2008.
Across the Group of 20 leading economies, which account for about four-fifths of global economic activity, the annual rate of inflation rose to 3.8% from 3.1% in March, reaching its highest level in over a year.
The jump in some prices over recent months has unsettled investors used to a long period of sluggish inflation. In the U.S. those concerns have been compounded by the Biden administration’s fiscal stimulus package, which is unmatched in any other part of the world economy.
“Market worries surrounding high and accelerating inflation stem from the risk that pent-up demand, strong fiscal stimulus and the Fed’s commitment to keep policy rates on hold will cause overheating,” said Moody’s Investors Service in a note on the inflation outlook.
