Suppose you have been given an item that is either worth nothing or worth $10,000. Tomorrow you will learn what it is worth. There is a 50-50 chance it will be worth $10,000 and a 50-50 chance it will be worth nothing. You can wait to find out how much the item is worth, or you can sell it before its value is determined. What is the lowest price that would lead you to sell the item now rather than waiting to see what it is worth?
