I very much recommend Reasons and Persons, by the way. A friend stole my copy and I miss it all the time.
It's still in print and readily available. If you really miss it all the time, why haven't you bought another copy?
It's $45 from Amazon. At that price, I'm going to scheme to steal it back first.
OR MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE I'M CRAAAZY AND DON'T ACT FOR REASONS!
Gosh. It's only £17 in the UK.
(I wasn't meaning to suggest that you're crazy, but I did wonder about ... hmm, not sure whether there's a standard name for it. Being less prepared to spend X to get Y on account of having done so before and then lost Y. A sort of converse to the endowment effect.)
Mental accounting has that effect in the short run, but seems unlikely to apply here.
