It's a personal thing. I have two pens that where ~$200 each. I do not think I would ever spend more. Another item like this would be a watch. I love watches, but I will never buy the one I really want (it's not over the top at around $8k) because I cannot justify to myself morally that number. I would always look at it and think what that money could do if I gave it to charity (my wife and I setup a charity fund after my last startup hit). Walking into the schools in Menlo Park and PA where they bus kids over from East PA and finding the cards on the tree at Christmas where a kid just wants a pair of shoes is always a reality check for this bubble we live in called Silcon Valley. For us, we always make sure that there are no cards on tree by Christmas. I guess that is my cut-off. That being said, these pens are a work of art and as such I have a great deal of apprication for them and their creators.
