I didn't mean to imply that.If you paid for it, you valued it at least as much as the mechanic asked you to. Just because you'd like to have paid less doesn't mean you didn't value it that much. If you hadn't agreed with his valuation, you wouldn't have paid.You don't get to decide that. Or rather, you can only answer for yourself, which is my whole point. We each of us decide for ourselves how much something is worth -- hence, it matters not how hard something was for the producer to create, only how much it is valued by the purchaser.Nothing is generally worth anything. Everything is specifically worth something to each person individually. As a seller your challenge is always finding those individuals who value your product enough to pay the price you need to sell it at.It doesn't have to take anything into account. You can price it however you like. Maybe you're rich and don't need to worry about materials and labour. If in your case you need to make the production of art a paying venture then you're going to have to produce work good enough to get people to pay enough that you can cover your costs. Setting your prices isn't the key. That's trivial. Producing the work that other people will value is.Well, so what if you reconsider if you won't pay the price? I mean, I don't get what you're saying here. If you "will not pay more" then why "stop to reconsider"? I'm sorry, it just doesn't make sense to me.I mean, maybe for you, how hard someone worked on something IS a contributing factor to that thing's value. That's cool, but I can't quite make out what you're saying here.</blockquote>
