on the second part, I don't actually (in my day to day life) equate monetary considerations very closely with price at all. However, my response was about how I perceived FranchelB's method for determining value... if that makes any sense. I perceive value a little differently probably than some. I will see a product and I'll evaluate it based on my needs and requirements and then I'll select a sort of 'good, better, best' of solutions. good will satisfy say 90% of my requirements, better 95% and best usually exceeds my requirements by a margin of several percent. Then the issue is of re-evaluating based on cost and convenience. I'm looking for a 'sweet' spot of maximizing the elements of the solution, valuing convenience and service and then settling on price.

It sounds to me like you have a very useful strategy for determining the value something has for you. That's a good thing to have. We all know folks who don't. They're the ones with their credit cards on the TV tray watching infomercials when they should be sleeping and their houses are full of crap they'll never use. But maybe it's quality crap??
