You both are arguing semantics at this point. Value and worth are the same thing. Its how you define them that makes the difference. Stated value is the value without the market. So in the case of the care it will always have a stated value of 400. However its relative value or market value can differ widely.

Simply put the sl500 benz has a stated value of 400 in scrap.
But is relative value to other cars as a "car" is probably somewhere in the 40-50k range.

Therefore your bronze allagan piece has a stated value of 100. That does not change. Its relative value is also 100 because there is nothing else to do with it and it cannot be compared to anything but its stated value.

Iron ore has a stated value of say 3gil. But its relative value to the time needed to mine it, the goods it produces and supply in the market put its value (note value can still be used here) at say 30gil. (totally made up prices as I don't know them)


Edit: Also whats up with the hostility here. It's like you guys have a personal stake in this lol.
