They asked my salary range, what should I say? after 5 years as an office manager

A recruiter asked for my salary expectations on a first call as I look for work as an office manager. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. I also do not want to sell myself short. What did you say?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
