I'm sorry I don't want to come off as rude or anything, also not trying to start a flame war. I'm just like... completely destabilized by your arguments ...

This is your opinion. The point you make is one I was accused of implying in one of my posts. In fact I had not intended to make the point at all but the way I had expressed my post did leave that implication open. When it was pointed out to me I clarified what I had intended.
There were two reasons why I had not even thought to make that particular point. The first is that people's perceptions of value differ, and there is no reason why my perception of value is the correct one or any better than any other persons perception of value, other than to me. If someone perceives value at a particular price and pays that price, it does not follow that they were either naive or ripped-off. They simply acted rationally based on their own perception of value. That I do not share that perception of value is neither here nor there.
The second reason I did not intend to make this particular point is that it is both arrogant and condescending, and neither is justified.
Perhaps you should give this one some further consideration.
