When an item is damaged or otherwise no longer usable in its original form, it often retains some residual value based on its materials or components. This residual worth is referred to as salvage value. Salvage value is defined in the 2021 Core Course Manual as: the amount that can probably be obtained from a damaged item or for the components of a damaged item (GL-11). All types of property can have a salvage value from fine art to antiques to appliances. For instance, a painting with a hole still has a salvage value in its current condition. Similarly, a broken appliance still has a salvage value as it may be sold for its parts.
