Along the same lines, if I was playing "Let Em Roll" (for example) and I wasn't too crazy about the car they offered, I'd consider taking the cash after the first roll and stopping (depending on how much it was).

I don't understand this logic. What you are essentially saying here is that you don't think you can sell the car for enough so that you clear, say, five grand after taxes. And THAT is assuming you won the full $7,500 consolation prize.

Selling the darn thing is too much like work. If I ever get to play Spelling Bee, I am prepared for the boos when I say, "I'll take the $2500 (or $2000 or $1500 or $1000). Just gimme the money so I can go out and celebrate my windfall with some Welch's Family Wine.

I'd see booing taking $2500 in that case. But $1500 or $1000 would probably be good dump-outs. $2000 is a sorta in my book.
