I am not sure how should I understand「1千万ベリー以上は下らない代物」. I know it means
something like "item that cannot be less than 10 million berries." The word
下らない throws me off. I initially interpreted 1千万ベリー以上は下らない as "cannot drop
(price) more than 10 million berries" which is wrong. How 1千万ベリー以上は下らない is
understood literally?

question
grammar meaning
Understanding「1千万円以上は下らない代物」
The Xはくだらない is an idiomatic usage meaning _not being less than X_ , where X is
a price. (cf.
[下る](https://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/word/%E4%B8%8B%E3%82%8B_%28%E3%81%8F%E3%81%A0%E3%82%8B%29/#jn-61845)
#8.)

Literally 下る here is a transitive verb meaning 'going below _obj._ ' So it
means _(the value) does not go below 一千万ベリー_.

以上 in 一千万ベリー以上 is redundant and should be 一千万ベリーはくだらない.
