    I think from the junk traders is the appropriate part of your question that you haven't focused enough on. Commented May 24, 2017 at 16:18

    Well, an iPhone only costs 100$, but when you present it properly... Commented May 24, 2017 at 16:18

    If I go to a Mafia boss and say: "Here's I present to you this golfcart as a token of my goodwill." that is not going to be received the same as "Here, take this Ferrari". The point is that it seems incongruous. R2 and 3PO didn't radically change between the two films (except some cleanup) and the Jawas are pretty lousy junk traders if they can't tell a golf cart from a Ferrari. So which is it? It can't be both. Unless there's some explanation for how it can be. And if so, that is an answer. Commented May 24, 2017 at 16:22

    Expensive tractors can cost most than some cheap Ferraris. Why do you assume that farmers can't buy expensive investments? Note: buying stolen goods, particularly stolen intelligent goods that may resent being stolen always gets you a discount. The fact that they were willing to buy stolen instead of new, indicates droids are expensive. Commented May 24, 2017 at 22:55
