Me too, and I think it's because we understand value. That sense of value varies with the goods in question. $20 for MA3 is a good value. $20 for a dinner is a good value. $999 for an HDTV is a good value. Just because I am willing to pay $999 for an HDTV does not mean I am willing to pay $200 for MA3 anymore than I'd pay $200 for a meal.

Agreed and for Jim it's a labor of love. He wants to do this, and is financially and intellectually enriched by the process. He could stop any time he wants. But he shows no signs of burning out
