How do you actually quantify the value that way? It's a business remember? If I were to quantify say, the real value of a coffee shop ice lemon tea, I think they won't be able to make profit, or take a way longer to make profit. Haha. @john In the real world, that wouldn’t work. How do you actually quantify the value that way? It’s a business remember?

Most probably we aren't exactly paying for the content. but the medium / brand it is delivered .... Even in its raw state.. its value is subject to perception... If we were to pay for its content.. shares will reflect pure earnings, clothes and food will reflect the quality of the material its made of Clothes, Shares, Food….

U see China made ones so cheap! Some are not imitations, they are simply the extra stock from the factory. Another good place to get good bargains for clothes is the Reject Shop. Hardly can notice the reason for the item getting rejected but you pay like less than half the retail price. LOL @john, clothes r easy, just dun buy branded ones. U see China made ones so cheap!
