TNNW ARTICLES - December, 2008 - Week 1

Dear Readers:

PERCEPTION OF VALUE

I have heard it said that "you get what you pay for," more than once.

In my experience, I have, at turns, 1) paid very little and gotten far more than I had bargained for, and 2) paid enormously for something that was less than worthless.

Generally speaking, people in Western culture have an interesting means of ascertaining value:

1. If something is made available for free it is likely worthless;

2. If someone refuses to sell something, regardless of what is offered, it is priceless;

3. If something can be bought for either a set (fixed) price, or for a negotiable (flexible) price, it can become the subject of commerce.

It is advisable to remember these things when making business decisions and when negotiating for the acquisition or sale of anything.

Faithfully,

Douglas Castle
