Too

When do I need to put a comma before 'too'?

Examples from dictionaries:
"You might also be lucky enough to see a bluethroat, too."
"We are selling the house and the furniture too."
"He saw something, and she saw it too."

Thank you.

I wouldn't put a comma before any of those "too"s. I don't see any difference between the first two sentences in that regard.

I would use a comma in all those. It's merely a mechanical convention. The reader doesn't even see it. "Too" is a conjunctive adverb there, and it takes a comma wherever it is. If it had been "however", we wouldn't be having this discussion: "You might also be lucky enough to see a bluethroat however." What do you think? Comma there?
