Default 1K "Good Faith" is an Oxymoron

For any who have bought an existing home in TV, what amount of deposit was requested, offered by you, negotiated or finally accepted. Many thanks.
$1K is so yesterday. Plan on anywhere from $10K to 10% non refundable escrow with a 30 day close with a cash offer
