Why wouldn't a sale event trigger depreciation recapture?

This occurs with every sale.

Additionally, you took an ordinary expense for the depreciation, now you need to pick up the depreciation recapture up to the extent of any gain on the sale.

Otherwise you would be converting ordinary income into capital gain.
