Would you agree that valuable is subjective?
I meant as far as what people value.
Let's say we buy identical purses. Yours cost $300 because you bought it at Fancy Store. Mine cost $75 because I bought it at Cheap Store.
Note everything about these purses are identical.
So who's purse has more value?
Or what about corn?
Store A's corn is 75 cents. Store B is 72 cents. Store C is 66 cents.
Note all three corns were processed and packaged at the same time. Only the labels are different. Which has the most value?
Books are the same way. The contents are the same, just different packaging.
So I respectfully disagree that price=value.
