Given the functionally infinite availability, and your notion that "true value" is based on availability, wouldn't the value functionality be infinitely small? Billionths or trillionths or even quadrillionths of a cent?
I just said that value should be based on availability/importance. Sure there's a ton of threads but they sure aren't equally important.
There's a ton of food available at the supermarket. But this general availability really doesn't influence my valuation. I'm more concerned with the availability of the specific food that I consider to be important.
Which brings us back to $100 ears of corn because they're valued highly among foods and it's super good corn and your admission that your system will cause more waste via spoilage.

How do you know the availability of anything? You search for it. The easier it is to find, the more available it is. The harder it is to find, the less available it is.
So the smart thing to do is place only one ear of corn out at a time so people view it as less available, even if you have a mountain of it in the back.
The rest had nothing to do with corn.
