Abstract
The value or worth of an item is an opinion (Suter, 1974). That opinion may be a personal one in which the person making the evaluation largely ignores the real world and bases the value on sentimental and subjective judgements. In that instance, value is the worth of the item to one individual alone. The determination of the value of an item may, on the other hand, be based on certain assumptions and analyses and arrived at in an objective fashion. In that instance the value represents the worth of the item to all persons who might be owners of that item (Murray, 1969).
