Depends on the usability/benefits of the token. If having it means I can have a share of profit in one of your profiting company then sure, I will buy it. IF it is just for the holdings and nothing beneficial about it then no. Price will never be a factor as long as it can generate income or profit and the benefits that is better than the price of acquisition.

Benefits example:
A VIP status that can have massive discounts on items at several known online stores.

This is a hypothetical token and no there is absolutely no benefits in it. You get what was explained in OP and nothing more.
But you raise a good point and the problem with this point is that using a token is extra work that is not providing either party any benefits.

If a centralized organization wants to give its users some benefits (eg. VIP status) then the users simply sign up with that organization/company and give them their money and receive those benefits into their accounts.
Using a token on top of that is not providing users any additional benefits not to mention that it adds extra costs for the company that has to create and distribute those tokens while still doing everything else I explained before.

Take bitcointalk for example. There is a VIP account, there is Copper membership you can buy, ... you simply sign up for bitcointalk and pay the forum that money to get those benefits without needing any extra work for creating tokens buying and storing them and all that additional work not to mention the extra database that the forum would have to store (waste storage space) to handle all users.
