        As a kid, I wanted my family’s totaled car put back together and repaired instead of sold for junk We ended up doing it despite monetary loss I think sentimentality / attachment to objects is a common manifestation of what you describe

        I find it very hard to throw away anything that still works. So eg I struggle on trying to find a use for some hard drive from 2005, hoping the damn thing will choose today to break, rather than just tossing it and buying a much nicer SSD.

        This is one reason I’m skeptical of even post Kahneman economics. Endowment, anchoring etc, sure. But there are additional irrationalities going on that are not present anywhere in your categorization.
