answer:Sounds like Larry L. made out. He was just going to throw the items away. Now he has money for his ‘trash.’ The woman /buyer thinks she made out too. Such things as ‘value’ are in the eye of the beholder. To me, both hypothetical people won,in this scenario. Value is determined by circumstances. For instance, ice is of little value to an Eskimo. But it is rare and valuable to someone living on the Equator.
