Or to think of how the action of buyers and sellers engaging in mutually beneficial voluntary exchange (market forces) reallocates legal ownership or the physical location of the good from low to high valued used. When a unit of a good is sold, that means the value the seller places on the good is lower than the value the buyer places on the good.

The good is transported from an area where the price of the good is low to an area where the price of the good is higher.
