How can you make something that might not be valuable become valuable?
Many ordinary people, including those who have just become merchants, might employ several practical methods to turn such an item into a commodity, thereby increasing its value.
The most common example is adding extra value to something inherently worthless, using this added value to convey its expense.
Take, for instance, paleontological fossils inlaid with gold and precious gemstones. These fossils are widely distributed in this world, found almost everywhere.
The first group of people who discovered these fossils indeed sold them for a good price, but once people realized that with a hoe and a suitable location, they could easily dig up some fossils unless their luck was too poor, the price of paleontological fossils began to plummet swiftly.
From being revered as the "memory of history" to becoming the "pages of history" and finally being reduced to "historical trash," this evolution happened quickly.
