that kind of sarcasm strikes me as needlessly acerbic.

FWIW, his idea struck me as logical. I might be able to afford something that still doesn't make sense for me to buy, since I don't get eg; $20 of value from it. See econ101. But I'm not sure PWYW would be the solution here.

Setting your own price hardly works. Panera tried it for a while and while it was charitable, there were way more people who underpaid (that could actually pay) than people who would overpay. Now IIRC, they only do it once a year.
