On the subject of "worth":

I'm reminded of something my Dad said once when I told him that his newfangled VCR thingy (with a wired remote, to give you an idea of the vintage) could have been had at the local electronics store for $X when he paid $X+something at *gasp* Sears. He told me, "V, a good deal is a state of mind."

Not unlike real estate, hm?
