Forum:SH:What's the difference between "Cost" and "Value"?

In many infobox templates such as Template:Weapon, Template:Armor, Template:Clothing, and Template:Device, there is an entry for both "Cost" and "Value". The "Cost" is where we usually put how much the weapon costs to buy. This information is usually taken from role-playing game sourcebooks, video games, and video game guides. However, under "Value" the various infobox templates have this instruction: "List the real worth of the weapon." What does this mean exactly? What's the difference between "Cost" and "Value"?-- Richterbelmont10  ( come in R2! ) 16:48, October 20, 2014 (UTC)
