As I am almost exclusively a set collector/builder, I wholeheartedly agree with this analysis. My explanation always is around a car. A car already built costs much less than if you purchased all the individual parts and built it yourself.

I now like the beer analogy much better!!

Thank you.

I’ll give essentially the same answer I just did in another thread. Prices are determined by supply and demand not just supply or demand.
