There is absolutely an opportunity cost for all of the stuff you own. I won't publish my entire thinking on this, but after seeing my parents collect, hoard and store things for years and years, I place a high value on not having something (I tell myself that I am letting the store hold it for me.)
I still have too much stuff and its a fraction of what my parents had.
(Perhaps this is more of an American thing?)
There is usually no opportunity cost though. Those shoes you keep around have no margin cost for the apartment until you need a bigger place.
