    My cutoff is $20. I have a few "rules" for sales.
    1. Sales don't make me mad, they are entertainment.
    2. I have to be able to sell the item for 1/2 to 1/3 the cost of a new and still make 10x my money.
    3. If they make an offer, I will counter. If they make a ridiculous offer, I will not even respond. I accepted an offer for $20 for a dog cage listed at $25 and told them to be here to pick it up by 8. They had an hour and about 5 of 8 I get a text they would get here at 8:03. I told them the price was $25 after 8. Oddly, they made it before 8.
    4. I give an approximate location, I do not give my address until the people are ready to pick up.
    5. If any negotiation has occurred prior to arrival, any attempt to negotiate after arrival will cost more than previously agreed. I call it, "The reopen negotiation charge."
    6. If they sit, they get scrapped.
