I don't apply any particular value to Avios - They're easy come, easy go in my book. I earn them through flights that are funded by my company. In this case, I'm personally paying for the tier points run, so I'll use the Avios to bring the cost down as far as I can.
All I am saying is that if I were the "world's tighest man", I wouldn't throw 90 worth of Avios to save 30 but I would use it as a one way RFS on my next holiday / personal trip to Europe when I can save 90 or even more on said flight.
yes, they are "easy come, easy go" but there's a way of getting good or best possible value out of them. A bit like those pieces of paper with " 5 " written on them. easy come, easy go. can be used in exchange for a can of diet coke. or can be used in exchange for 12 cans of diet coke.
so, brush up on your money saving tools, world's tighest man!

I don't really "apply value" either in terms of thinking about my wealth.
