do you REALLY want to take the time to call bunnylake an *******?

i'm saying that we can all agree that bunnylake is a nice guy that gives away highly valuable freebies worth alot of his time and money. he is NOT an ahole.
cc is a guy who makes $300 keycaps, but then decides to be a nice guy and ends up giving it to the general members of the public for $20. so he is like bunnylake; which is to say he is ALSO a nice guy.
i'm stating a similiarity between CC and bunnylake.
when bunnylake gives away stuff for free, does that mean the items he gives out are worth nothing? of course not.
therefore, when CC only charges $20, does that mean that a clack is only worth $20? nope, not in the slightest.
if someone goes to say "OF COURSE a cc is only worth $20", then I would say "does that mean bunnylake is an ******* because he's only giving out free items?". the answer to that question is "NO!"
summary: just because someone gives you a discount on something (even if it's the same discount to every single person), it doesn't change the original value of that item.
this 'comparison' extends out quite far into the whole 'retail price' drama that I don't want to waste my time or anyone elses' with.
