It depends a great deal on the specific title you're talking about. The Doom games were extremely popular when they were new and they were available for sale retail for a relatively long period of time. As a result, it surprises me a bit that they've been able to get the prices raised that much.
Contrast that with my copy of San Francisco Rush which was a bit less than the cheapest offerings of Doom.
Kind of makes me think I ought to look around and see if I can find my old Doom discs.
