I think it’s quite double. Goods should not be sold because a possible monetary value of that good can be grossly underestimated by the selling party. We’ve seen that before. Very annoying if too much is confiscated (because that also happens) or if the goods cannot be replaced).
So yes, put it in storage first. Until a judge has actually approved that it can be sold.
And then you can say yes, but then it may be that the value has decreased, so what? It’s basically free cash for the cashier. Profit maximization does not play a role anyway.
