"You say it has value? I'll take this many!!!"
... would you still be seeing the same "value" if grading prices tripled tomorrow?
You're a marketing person's wet dream.

You're an idiot.
Stop and read and think.
You're babbling in an attempt to win an argument you clearly don't understand.
Value by definition means perceived worth of something.
If
I perceive the item has worth at the cost being charged, it has VALUE to me.
Regardless of what a company or you or anyone else thinks, it may have value to ME.
I can then choose to exercise whether to use my discretionary funds to attain it.
I don't HAVE to, I can CHOOSE to.
Were the cost of something to go up 300%, if it still has value to me eg. I want to own that item more than have the money in the bank, or I believe it to be worth more than the rise in cost and therefore a sound financial decision, I can choose whether or not to purchase said item or service.
We're on a forum that discusses the ownership of little bits of paper and other memorabilia, most of which has zero value to most people on the planet. The vast majority would roll their eyes at the amount collectors pay for items largely 'worth' in their estimation its value in joules on a cold winters night. And YOU think a TPG who wants to charge $20 for mylar an outlier to logical value LOL.
Move along son if you have so little grasp of the discussion point.
