Perceived Monetary Value
Everything I own has a value, whether it be a straight street value, how much I could sell it on eBay, or an inflated value due sentimental attachment.
The number one item on my perceived monetary value is my laptop which I also have listed as an essential item. The value of this item isn't much exaggerated from it actual street value, but if there was any one item that had the most chance for being inflated it is this one object due to the nature of it's personal value to myself.
Most of my sentimental items are listed in top half of my possessions as rated by how much I think they're worth. Generally I think that most people value their sentimental possessions more than their other possessions and tend to apply a greater monetary value to them.
