>...thing, grossly ignoring the time they spent in doing... I fully agree. There is no concept of inherent value of time because it isn't quantifiable. I saved 1 hour by paying $5 to get it shipped, so what? What am I going to do with that one hour anyway? I don't have any hobbies that I find more valuable than the $5 I saved. I would just end up watching TV. I will not think of the discomfort it causes me to travel by public transport, or the operating cost of my personal vehicle (it seems that fuel is crazy expensive there nowadays!). Plus, if I go out to get that, it doubles as an outing too. Obviously the 'I' above isn't me but the average mentality that I have come across.
