“I’m the kind of person who’s in perpetual danger of waking up in the morning and suddenly realizing that there’s some expensive thing I can’t live without. Most of the time, the fever passes without action – honestly what would I do with a hovercraft? – but sometimes it settles in and demands satisfaction. Then I end up buying a boat on eBay and finding out what my wife looks like when she’s homicidal.”

– Ezra Dyer, Automobile March 2011

We sort of have a sliding scale, around $100-300. If it is something that has to be bought no matter what, it can go 300 or even more. If it is a nice-to-have, it drifts down to 100 or so.
