[Whatever]

Sorry, but you do not begin to understand what was being said by Weezy.  If there is something special about that television, and it is placed for sale on the open market where multiple people bid and $2000 is the final price, then yes that is the market value of the product.  If you walk into Bob's Wholesale Appliances and pay $2000 for a television you could get at Wal-Mart for $120 then that makes you foolish and an uneducated consumer.

The two scenarios are not at all similar.  As was said previously, it is supply and demand.  Zeitler has a skill that he can supply to a team, a very specific set of skills, and if $12 million is the final bid then that is his market value.

Fair enough, poor example.  However, in Weezy's example, if you buy said comic book for a cool million, and a year later try to sell it and can only get $750k for it, you made a bad investment regardless of what the market was at the time.  In Z's case, he is the highest paid G in the league, but has never been named an All Pro or made the Pro Bowl.  It's not hard to hit the conclusion that the Browns overpaid.
