The cost of Axies fluctuates a lot due to their ties with different cryptocurrencies and the overall market. I bought my AAP team in early October 2021 for around $1000, including the ETH transaction fees. The same team was up for sale for $1500 minimum in the mid of that same month. After that, we had several crypto market crashes, and everything went down to the dirt. Today, the same team can be bought for as little as $300!
