>>7294593>being this plebA Pléiade contains more than one book, so it's the equivalent of buying maybe four or five books at €10 each.
Then it's time for Economics 101: when you buy a €65 Pléiade, you own a book that's worth €30 to €40 used (and if you buy them used, you literally lose no money). But when you buy a €10 paperback, you own something that's worth €1 at best, and probably €0.10 when it gets used.
So, you bought five €10 paperbacks who look like a wreck (net worth: €0.10 x 5) and five other paperbacks to replace them (net worth: €1 x 5). Your total net worth after these operation is €5.50, and you lost €94.50 in total. Meanwhile, I bought one Pléiade who gave me more pleasure, have a €40 net worth and only lost €25 out of its original €65 value.
You lose.
