I tend to use 50% as an upper limit.Occasionally role-playing this can be fun (especially when the players critically fail and hugely underestimate an items value – they get a poor offer and think it’s great!). But doing this for every item would be tedious.How much detail do you really need?The 50% rule is fast, simple, and generous.Certainly it’s more than I would dish out.</blockquote>
