But, what makes more sense... that a lot of people every year like a useful product with a cool story to tell their friends for $40-125 or that 10-30 people like some mediocre modules enough to pay 900-2600 for some of them. You can never really make sense of values, just learn what they might be from experience and get constantly surprised. jmho
