> It’s nothing of value buying nothing of value

Doesn’t that make it fine? If I trade three acorns for a crayon drawing of a squirrel, that’s a nothing burger. If I bought those three acorns for a million dollars, then someone might have a legitimate gripe with my choices.



Value is in the eye of the beholder, as you clearly understand. The commenter is not familiar with how trade works. Personally, for such I transaction I will need to audit to ensure the projected value is accurate.

Also, do you have a sample of said squirrel drawing? I have a squirrel book that might pair nice with it.
