Boba Fett. $15K. Really?

Do you have an extra $15,000 available? Didn’t think so. However. If you by some chance answered yes than I have a deal for you. You can buy a never released prototype Boba Fett action figure from Star Wars. You remember those little toys. Han Solo, Luke Sywalker, C3PO, Darth Vader – the gangs all here. The beauty of the prototype is the real firing missile! Only the coolest bounty hunter of the future has that. Most models sold did not have the missile due to potential choking hazards. Still interested? Heres a picture of 15k added value:

Value is a crazy thing. Today, instead of telling me why this is sooo worth the investment, think about things in your life that have value. Measure them using these three questions:

1. How will this (thing, person, object, ideology etc…) help my community to flourish?

 2. How will this help my faith to strengthen?

 3. How will this bring glory to God and not me? 

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, ⁴ not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. – Philippians 2:3 and 4

 The guy who bought a similar prototype did so at Comic Con for 17K. 17. Yes. Se-ven-teeeen. Thousand. Dollars. Here’s what he said post purchase, “my girlfriend is going to kill me”. Well, probably not kill but pretty sure she is re-valuing her profile at match.com right about now. Today, know what you value and why. Here’s my working standard measuring tool. Not perfect. Not always met. But in place:

1. Family over work.

2. People over programming.

3. Humility over pride. Still working this one out :)

4. Bonus: Han Solo over Boba Fett ;)

How do you measure value?
