    There’s no “preset range”, but I would agree that if something is worth anywhere near $300, an offer of $20 is akin to saying “come on stranger, I want this for free”

      In my experience people will often offer $20 for anything worth up to $1000 and as little as $50, any less and they want it delivered for free.

      The number of people who offered me $20 for my $1200 TV was staggering, and one woman wanted me to pay her to take my beanbag chairs.

      Odds are just as high that the example $360 is an insultingly inflated price just like the $20 is likely to be far lower than what someone else is willing to spend on whatever is being sold.

        I gave up on marketplaces years ago after looking for a reasonably priced PS3. The number of people who thought their original model with 7 Madden games was worth $500 was absurd.
