Has happen once and will never happen again, assess the situation as best as possible
It's easy to make a claim here behind the keyboard in my nice comfy chair, but I honestly don't know. I'd have to be in the moment to make a call. It sounds like so much internet bull, but there's a quote credited to Al Capone: "Show me a man with nothing worth killing for, and I'll take everything he has." I have a lot of things worth killing for. I'm just not sure how many of them are worth dying for, and it is that decision that must be made at the moment of crisis.
First off you never pull your bang bang until you have made up your mind your blasting. There is no dollar amount, it is being fearful of your life or someone else's. Just chuckle and ask if they are positive if they want to continue.
Assigning a dollar amount to this kind of situation seems like a slippery slope that ends in getting snacks out of the commissary.

All of us who carry a weapon for protection should carefully consider the when and how of using a gun in a violent encounter. My basic question is this: Will using my gun increase or decrease my survivability or the survivability of others in the given situation. All encounters have millions of variables and it's impossible to plan for them all.
Ultimately, the cost of the items involved never enter into my decision making process. That's what insurance is for. I will use my gun only to protect and defend things insurance can't replace.
You can steal my car, however if my daughter is strapped in a car seat in the car you are trying to steal, you will get every round I have.

Geez ! I hope no one would dumb enough to rob someone on this website . Craigslist is another story. I always bring armed back up in Craigslist deals and I would never deal with anyone with 0 feedback on this site. Sorry newbies !
Keep in mind, that the legal justification for the use of deadly force doesn't contain dollar amounts.
If you've no reason to be fearful of serious bodily harm or death, then you might be facing a murder charge.
Any dollar amount that I came up with would be compared to justification for the use of deadly force rules, because otherwise, the question becomes what dollar amount would you be willing to spend your life in prison for.
That said.... closer to $1.00 than $1,000,000. Even if you only lose a dollar, the person who is (I assume here) threatening you with violence for your goods might very well seriously injure or kill the next victim.
Better to be judged by twelve than carried by six, and if I feel that I need to draw a weapon to defend myself (and my $1.00) from death or serious bodily harm, there won't be two versions of the story to sort out.
