Those two values are inversely proportional.
Absolutely! The last garage sale we had included a baby swing. It started the day at $5 and was reduced to $3 around lunchtime. At 3:00, when we were theoretically shutting down, a woman who was already buying some other stuff was waffling about the swing. I told her it was hers for a dollar. She seemed genuinely surprised, and asked why I'd sell it for that little. I said, look, my youngest kid is 8. I need this thing out of my basement more than I need five dollars. She still looked suspicious (but she bought it anyway).
