Matteti,
The prices at which you bought the various orders and medals are dirt cheap. I can tell you that in St Petersburg, prices for pretty much any order and most medals except for the most common jubilee ones are HIGHER than in the US, so I do not believe that your remark is necessarily applicable these days.
I once heard what I hold to be the ultimate gauge of value for collectibles: "An item will only be worth what somebody is ready to pay for it". So, if you are comfortable with $5, then it is the right price for you; for me, this one will have to be somewhat cheaper :)
