I mostly use this for after-purchase evaluation. If I spend $80 on a pair of shoes and at the end of their life they’ve cost $10 per use, I’m not happy. If I spend $500 on a couch and by the end of its life it’s cost $0.25 per day, I’m pleased. I don’t decide beforehand exactly what value I expect to get out of it, but I know it when I see it.

You're pleased with 2000 uses for a couch? Imagine paying 25 cents each time you sit on the couch.

And this is why microtransactions mostly don't work for, e.g. content purchases.

If you assume you use a couch 50% of days--because you travel, sit other places, etc. you're talking about over 10 years which seems sort of reasonable. And OK you can try to find something used or something at Ikea, but $5K isn't a completely extravagant number for a couch, especially if you own a house.

Yes I do imagine that.
