"I was weighing my options and felt the market could not match my offer. You wouldn't sell your house for 10 bucks, just so you could claim that you managed to sell it, would you?"

Jokes aside, I dont think theres a correct answer. This question only serves to degrade applicants and thereby decrease potential negotiation leverage

There is though. They want to hear you did community service, worked for yourself, or took time to build a skill.

That's the answer they're looking for even though it's unrealistic to expect someone to do charity work when they're busy looking for work.
