$13.99 seems really cheap but I suppose in 1998 that was really the equivalent of about $20 now. But I bet you're glad you were enough of a fan from the start to make that purchase!
It seems like the resurge in vinyl popularity over the last few years is such a recent development that it's easy to forget that vinyl continued to be pressed and sold throughout the 90's and mid-2000's before it became a really big thing. It's probably just that I haven't been aware of it's appeal for that long. But it makes me wonder, did new record pressings actually continue to be widely available through the 90s? I assume the market would've been far more niche then.
I would say no except for electronic music mainly because of the DJ angle. I think there would have been specialty pressing for things like Nirvana but not standard vinyl issues. There may have been a resurgence in the late 90s. I got Ok Computer, Kid A and the the first Sigur Ros record on vinyl in this time frame.
Apparently, a lot older funk and soul record. (eg. James Brown, Parliament) never actually went out of production on vinyl. The demand never went away for them supposedly. This is just hearsay for me, though.

A huge contributor to the price jack of vinyl is the cost of oil. People forget that they're made out of the same stuff we use for our cars. also a while back (especially for electronic music) when people still used vinyl to dj, there was a lot more of a demand. and then you have inflation and greed to factor into the whole thing. $14-18 im sure was only marginally more resonable than the prices that we have today
