You’ve invented a 3D fax machine. This cool technology is almost like a Star Trek teleporter. You can scan an object at one machine, which creates an exact copy at another 3D fax machine. It is so valuable that as more people use it, it becomes more valuable, and the price any given user is willing to pay increases in turn. Consider a scenario in which there are 12 possible users, who each value the fax machine at i*n, where i is the index of that user (from 1 to 12), and n is the number of other purchasing users. So, if no one buys the 3D fax machine, everyone values it at 0. However, as soon as one person buys the device, then the 12 possible users begin to value the product at 1, 2, … 12, respectively. If 2 people purchase, the 12 possible users’ valuations increase to 2, 4, … 24, and so on.
