furniture and effects.
    b.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            The incidental costs of selling the furniture and effects.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Note: Incidental costs are the standard charges of auctioneers and valuers, and reasonable advertising costs.
2.  The amount of reimbursement must not be more than what the Commonwealth would pay to remove the furniture and effects.
3.  If the member stores furniture and effects at Commonwealth expense and then sells them, the amount of reimbursement is reduced by the cost of the storage. If the cost of storage is greater than the loss, the member does not have to pay the Commonwealth the difference.
4.  The amount is not to be reduced under subsection 3 in these circumstances.
    a.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            It would cost more than the value of the reimbursement to continue to store the furniture and effects if they were not sold.
    b.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            By reason only of postings that do not attract a removal, the member would not use the furniture and effects within 12 months of becoming eligible for the reimbursement.
