I can't find the link, but I think Joel (or Eric Sink?) said there are 3 acceptable pricing levels for software:
1) $5-$99 - this is for consumers/regular expenses
2) $100-300 - this can bought within a normal company budget with a purchase order
3) $10,000+ - this is for organizations that require a huge sales effort to reach.
The price here was totally unrelated to product quality. It's just that a $250 piece of software, even if it's better, is too cheap for a huge enterprise to consider buying. Hence Oracle, Blackboard, etc
