I don't think a statement like that can really be made. Just because one part of the country sells one thing for less money doesn't mean it will sell for the same price somewhere else. Another example of what things are worth, look at the housing market. Lots of factors...school district, new or existing neighborhoods, proximity to shopping and roadways, etc. I had friend who lived in Texas and would have been thrilled to get $150k for his 3/4 bedrm house at the height of the housing boom a few years ago. I sold my house, same size for over $300k. You have different markets and market values no matter what it is that you are purchasing.
I hope that your little guy brings you many, many years of happiness. You got a great price no doubt.
