Interesting behavioral finance implications of this.

For example:

1. Boasting/bragging that you own something matters.
2. The history of an asset matters (people would pay more of something that has an interesting story, or was owned by someone they "liked").
3. Pain is state dependent.
4. Pleasure/pain is subjective and relative.
