If you decline to sell a thing for an easy 1300, doesn't that mean you value it at 1300 or more?

If you decline to sell a thing for an easy 1300, doesn't that mean you value it at 1300 or more?
it could simply be that you value owning the object in terms other than money. sentimental reasons, completionism tendencies, novelty, some other "non-rational"/emotional reason; any of these can have a stronger pull on the mind than $1300 to someone who doesn't immediately need the cash for survival. i have some records like this (not in that price-range but still) along with a few other collectible items (some rare handmade keycaps that were going for over $500 a piece at one point) that I refuse to part with for money because i just... like them :)
Technically no, because selling a thing is both a risk and a cost (of time and money).
Only if you actually need the 1300 cash, or think that you won't be able to sell it in the future.
If you don't need the 1300 cash, or think that you could sell it in the future, you could also buy it rather than merely not selling it.
