LD340 "real" value

We have a part of our culture as humans that is new to us relatively speaking. It’s called “Ebay” and “TV auctions.” It’s a place where one person with deep pockets sets the new price schedule for items we have a want, need or desire for. It has inflated the prices higher than inflation does. What was an Intake worth maybe $150 is now $800.00 because of an auction “asking price.” The “asking price,” does not mean that’s its real value. It just means it’s inflated value.
True stuff right there.
