Good post. Personally, I think the value of things is completely subjective from person to person. For example, I like to collect coins, but for different reasons than others, a lot of my collection has sentimental value, the coins I have, have been a part of my family for Generations. To some people, an old wheat back penny may only be worth face value of $0.01 . to a collector that same penny could be worth several dollars. However for me, I would never sell it because it is an item of my family history, that I will pass along to my kids someday.
