How fucked up is your life if you have to part with something irreplaceable like that for chump change?

I think some of too is that different people don't value things in the same way. There are plenty of kids and grandkids who end up with family heirlooms passed down from their parents and grandparents and they don't give a damn about them.
I used to buy storage units and every now and then I would come across a unit that was full of stuff that clearly belonged to an older person. There would be pictures and family items that had no real monetary value, but couldn't be replaced and yet they were just left in here as they had no value and nobody had any interest in them.
