The best things in life....

[HitRed]

Highway maps used to be free. The Michelin [Restaurant] Guide was free also until the publisher saw they were used to prop up a table and began charging for them.

It's a little of both I believe.

You can't buy that day at your favorite fishing spot when for some unknown reason they are attacking your usual bait at such a rate you have to avoid casting so you can pause to eat a sandwich.

Yet my favorite fishing rods are a bit more expensive than similar variants that are different and in many cases somewhat less refined.

Unless you work for a little over a year feeding and tending a cow, kill and process it. A steak is going to be more expensive than a bag of tofu.

I like Michelin maps. Discovered them on my first of two ever trips to France. Did some great exploring both times using them as our guide.

You have to pay for Doom. But once you pay for it, you can play it for 30+ years:

So that somewhat makes it free also.
