so the mag gets free bits to review and the supplier gets free advertising for said bits in a more prominent part of the mag than they may have done had they just had a small ad tucked away in the corner that may have gone unnoticed
and there you have it's "worth" and it would be a simple enough job to go back to the manufacturer/supplier to get a costing for said part
