This document constitutes a formal Depreciation Assessment regarding the valuation of estate sale items.

Filed by the Bureau of Inherited Burden under reference number 4782-d.

The subject property consists of a residential unit filled with personal effects.

The inheritor perceives these items as clutter.

Collectors, however, may assess them as treasures.

The principal challenge is determining actual market value.

First appraisal note: sentimental value is not a recognized asset class.

Depreciation begins the moment the previous owner ceased using the items.

The resale value is typically a fraction of the insured replacement cost.

What you call Grandma's junk is officially classified as a depreciated collection.

Collectors may bid up certain items due to scarcity or nostalgia, not intrinsic worth.

Hardest part is not losing your mind, but accepting that most objects have already lost 80% of their original value.

Recommendation: treat all inherited property as zero-basis assets with declining marginal utility.

Professional pricing requires detachment from emotional attachment and acceptance of market reality.

Vincent 'Depreciation' Hale, Senior Appraiser of Regret, Department of Random Domain Management.
