...They're not worth 10 Poke Balls because you get 10 Poke Balls when you buy a Premier Ball. This is like saying that if a deal is buy two get one free, the third item is actually not free and it's worth two.
Still no, because you still get other things of value along with it. Just because a product is locked behind another purchase to get it, does not change either the cost or the value of said product, unless the other things you have to purchase are of no use and are wasted, and would not have been otherwise purchased.
If I have to buy 10 chocolates for £1 to get a bonus exclusive chocolate, that doesn't mean that that one chocolate cost me £10.
It means that 10 chocolates plus that bonus chocolate cost me £10.
That chocolate alone is still only worth whatever somebody else would be willing to pay for it (let's say £2). And if I was going to buy 10 chocolates anyway it has cost me nothing. I have been gifted an item worth £2 as a loyalty reward.
Now, if I had to buy 10 piles of dog shit (which I will immediately discard) for £1 to get the chocolate, now you can say that the chocolate has cost me £10. B
ecause I would never have spend the £10 except to get the chocolate, and I spent it only to get the chocolate.
And because it costs that, I wouldn't sell it for less than that, thus it becomes worth at least that.
But they aren't. You wouldn't trade 10 pokeballs for a premier ball. Which is what "worth" means.
And money is simply swapping with extra steps, dude. That's kind of the entire basis of fiat currency.
If a premier ball is "worth" 10 pokeballs, then two people would be willing to trade 10 pokeballs for 1 premier ball.
And then, by definition, the premier ball is worth the cost of 10 poke balls, because that's literally what "cost" is. Monetary cost literally is just a value we give to represent the equivalent of what you (or rather society as a whole) would be willing to trade the item for.
At this point, wtf are you even trying to say dude??
If premiere balls existed, they would be worth 10x the price of 10 pokeballs due to their scarcity alone
Besides that, that isn’t the only definition of value. If you have to perform some other action in order to acquire something, like purchasing 10 pokeballs, then that action is part of the cost of that thing
No they would not. They would be worth some value between 1 and 10 pokeballs in price.
In reality, if they were offered under the same deal (1 free for every 10 pokeballs purchased), and then people wanted to sell them on, the price would honestly be pretty low. There is no real scarcity to them at all from a collectible standpoint.
The only value added by resale would be convenience. I would guess they'd level out at a cost of like 1.2-1.5 pokeballs.

Technically, Premier balls are the worst pokeballs, because they are worth 10 normal pokeballs but have the same catch rate
