What value do you place on your time?

For example, I bought a railroad china plate for 25 cents at a thrift store. It sold for over $600...(yes, really ) The time I would have had to spend to prove and back out that 25 cents from the profit would be way more than the few cents of tax saved.
Nearly everything I sold came from places that didn't provide a detailed reciept, or any reciept at all, like yard sales.

the time I would have spent doing the paperwork backing out what was often a couple dollars, or much less for stuff like postcards bought in a lot where each was maybe 5-10 cents was far better spent looking for more stuff, or just having fun.
