Natural, however I spot one grammar mistake.
It's suppose to be "The value of things..."

In this sense "payed" has the irregular spelling "paid".

@MonaHumaira Thank you for your answer! OK. The plural form of value is also value, right?

@misokatsu: nope. The plural form of value is values.
Values -> used when noun is countable
Value -> used when noun is uncountable
Since you didn't specify "things", it is counted as uncountable noun

@MonaHumaira I'm not sure about this.
It seems to me that "the values of things" means their individual values whereas "the value of things" means their general value.
So you rightly suggest the (singular, general) value of those things can be used.
However, if you substitute any countable noun such as "rhino" you would still say "value".
"The value of rhinos is not only determined by the prices you payed, but also by how much you use them after you bought them."
Things have values and things also have value, regardless of whether the things are countable.
Isn't that right?

@Igirisujin: @misokatsu: iv asked my Eng Lit Professor, according to him ;
Value can either be used as a verb or noun. Let's break it into 3 parts
1st-Value as a noun
In the case of " ...value of things"
Value is a noun here. Value as a noun is by default plural-singular. It's like the word "news" or "money" .
2nd-
Values -as a noun, meaning by worth. Always with an s at the back
Eg. "My personal values are......."
3rd-Value as a verb
On the other hand, value as a verb has both singular (values) and plural (value) becomes a something like "cost"
eg. "I value my Friend for ......"
Eg. "My Friend values his mother..."
I,you are special nouns, use plural terms
It depends on how value is used, as the word value itself has different meanings

I hope this helps !!

@MonaHumaira I think that's right. The difference is between the 1st and 2nd meaning, not whether the "things" are countable.
