Equating price and value is sometimes a tricky business.

In the past when I've had equipment that I no longer needed, I often
found that if I told people "take it it's free" then nobody wanted it.
The instant I put a price (any price) on it, folks are beating down the
door to buy it. Perhaps this guy had tried to give it away for years then
succeeded through the sales venue :-).

The important thing, price or not, is it has a good home.
