What is it’s actual value? Value itself is not objective in the sense that you have a fixed write-off determined by age and wear. It’s determined by offer and demand. While you can arbitrarily decide on what you think is it’s value, it is either over or undervalued according to your whim.

So you’d sell it cheaper than everyone else and then… Still spend the market value for the replacement? I like to think of myself as an altruist, but I bow to you. I’m not gonna go carless or homeless for the sake of selling things below market to make a point. I don’t have the capital to cover that.
