I know a lot of people who I expect would answer 'yes' for a hundred thousand dollars when talking to me -- maybe with a "depends on the person" caveat. A few for $1000. But $100? Yeah, not very many.

I suspect that threshold has more to do with the average level of wealth of my cohort than with our willingness to signal honesty.

A hundred thousand is a lot of money! I deserve lots of trite costless signalling points for saying I wouldn't accept that offer. I'm holding out for a mil. Or at least a half! ;)
