Thus, scarcity.

If somebody eats so much they become sick, they are too overconsuming.
I wasn't talking about literal consumption.

Can someone overconsume on TVs?

Values are constantly in flux because they are determined by the mind.
Quite right. What's worth $100 to someone might only be worth $10 to someone else.

The object for the seller is to find a person who is willing to buy at the price he wants.

What proof is there that the thing you are trading for exists, then?

The person you're trading with will have to come all the way over to your house to see it, or you'll have to bring it with you to show him.

Again, money is more useful.
