The physical properties of something that make it useful, as opposed to its abstract ratio to other commodities which is known as exchange value. It then follows that the use-value is limited by its physical properties. Use-values do not always have to be commodities (example: air, tools made in feudalism, etc.). It is also the substance of all wealth.

A strong attachment to a family heirloom due to one's either being able to make a significant income from da ownership/use of said precious object, or knowing dat it will fetch a "pretty penny" if put up for sale.
If someone claims to have a special emotional attachment to an item at an estate sale --- especially if said object is of considerable value --- it's entirely possible dat he really means dat it is "of centimental value"; i.e., dat it would be worth a lot of money to the right buyer, and so he is merely wanting to selfishly turn a tidy profit by selling it.
