The value of the tickets doesn’t increase with the effort you spent towards them.

It increases with the amount of effort you would spend. If you value your time at $150/hr and you _would_ spend 3 hours looking for them, the tickets are worth $505 to you, even if you spent 15 minutes looking for them. Then, if someone offers to buy them at $500 that’s a bad deal because you value them more.
Sure it does, my labor is why I’m now being offered $500 for $50 tickets.
