Ponder this: Who would place a higher value on a glass of water: someone in a rainstorm or someone in a desert?

I have a couple pirated ebooks that _cost_ me nothing. I place a high _value_ on them because they are some of my favorite novels. (If they were available legally, I would buy them.) You might not like the author, so you would place a lower value on them.

The point I am trying to make is that value is relative. Two individuals might pay the same cost for something, but might place a different value on it.
