...is that it is worth more to you than the $2,799 it takes to buy one.

In terms of economics purchases are a special class of exchanges. An exchange, either a purchase or a barter, takes place when both parties find the other's possession(s) more desirable than their own. In the case of the DMR you want the it more than the $$2,799 you have in your wallet and Bushmaster wants your $2,799 more than they want to keep one of their DMRs. Therefore you make the exchange, a purchase happens.
