Whether it’s a service or a purchase, it doesn’t matter.
What state of affairs brings about satisfaction?
When you think about it, it’s surprisingly profound.
For example, imagine dining at a restaurant with a wonderful location.
• Excellent service
• Beautiful interior, and a clean, spotless restroom
• High-quality, beautiful cutlery and plates
• A meal with rich aromas and flavors you’ve never experienced before
Then the final bill arrives. What’s your judgment at that moment?
As a result, the proportion occupied by price is remarkably high.
On one side of the scale sits “goods and services,” and on the other sits “money.”
Let’s say “if money goes down = expensive,” “if money goes up = cheap,” and “if balanced = average.”
It’s surprisingly important to realize that the weight of that money differs from person to person.
You might want to notice this too.
Of course, it’s also influenced by interest, hobbies, and preferences.
It seems that the weight of “goods and services” on one side of the scale actually differs from person to person.
As long as it doesn’t far exceed common sense, the point is that people with different values have different scales and weights.
Suppose
your wife wants a ring by a certain designer (let’s say 3 million yen).
Your husband doesn’t know the designer and has no interest. He’d naturally object.
What about the reverse?
Suppose
your husband wants a Z1000R. *The price has gotten crazy lately,
but by a stroke of fate, an acquaintance offers to sell one for 3 million yen due to an urgent need for funds.
When he consults his wife about the purchase, she doesn’t know the bike or its value and has no interest. She’d naturally withhold her approval.
This is the result of differing interests and preferences, with mismatched weights and scales.
There’s a wall that market prices can’t overcome, isn’t there?
With goods, it’s easier to judge and easier to participate based on factors like “the price is lower than market,” “high rarity,” and “high value.”
Not everyone is intimately familiar with market prices for “HIGH/LOW.”
When discussing price in relation to people, I prefer to use vague, soft language
like “that’s quite reasonable, isn’t it?”
What about the scale’s movement with services?
This time it’s more complex, and I think the subjective element ends up occupying almost the entire proportion. I’ll come back to this when I think of more.
