quotations about value
Low price is often confused with value. The so-called "value" ranges of many retailers are just one example. These are two very different animals: price is what someone pays; value is what they get. So, getting a real grip on value means seeing and interpreting things from the customer's perspective, which can present an unexpected level of challenge.

"Customer value is difficult to understand", Financial Times, February 17, 2017
There is no such thing as a measuring unit of value, and this fact means that measuring the value of a thing is impossible.
THOMAS C. TAYLOR
An Introduction to Austrian Economics
"Value" has no meaning other than in relationship to living beings. The value of a thing is always relative to a particular person, is completely personal and different in quantity for each living human--"market value" is a fiction, merely a rough guess at the average of personal values, all of which must be quantitatively different or trade would be impossible.

That which costs little is less valued.
