I agree with you, and also, the rationalist community seems unusually willing to buy things from friends with money. Bountied rationality exists. I know more than one couple that will pay each other to do things one wants but the other finds unpleasant. The “happy price” meme encourages people to ask for much more money and avoid a social obligation to give a friend price (which is kind of a gift).
