What price do you put on your gear?

I'm referring to it in a corporeal sense and more specifically, is it sentimental to the point you would never part with it or if someone is over for a visit and makes you an offer, would you sell on the spot?

I used to think pretty highly of my system (regardless of the actual cash value) but recently realized it doesn't mean that much to me other than it provides me with music. I even thought of it in terms of a car or sofa-sometimes you just want a change or you change or the thing gets old or... I suppose I've been leaning towards this mind set for a few years by going through several components and recently sold and replaced the entire system. I do think part of the gear swapping was dialing in the sound I prefer but at the same time maybe I was making a point to myself.

I write this because I was briefly faced with an extremely challenging and life-changing scenario that didn't come to pass but made me take a quick inventory of life.

Audio is a great hobby that I've enjoyed for many years and will continue to do so and I also still work with pro audio gear. I don't plan any big changes although if I see myself obsessing over something hopefully I can realize it before my wife does. It's something I've known for a while but just haven't verbalized.
