Well, think of it this way. What is a certain item worth? Well, if it is a rusty sword, WGAS. We will pay you what that item is currently selling for. So say a fair appraised value is $100, is that a fair price? One could say so since it is market value. OTOH, what if that item worth to YOU if it were just a rusty sword that your beloved Grandpa used in WW1 and a momento? Suddenly, $200 doesn't cover it. So it might not be all bad if you had a say in whether to let it go for $100 or whether you think the punishment should be at max level.
