[...] $100 is my “WTH” (what the heck) price which means if I drop that amount on some piece of tech gear, I don’t really care too much if the product eventually becomes obsolete or finds a secondary use as a paperweight. [...]

I second your $100 price point. (Especially since I recently spent about a month watching a lens that I wanted to buy on Amazon fluctuate between $101 and $105 until I finally pulled the trigger at $99.95.) For some reason there seems to be a mental barrier at $100 where it goes from 'this thing better be awesome' to 'oh well, at least I got some use out of it'.

What Makes the Ugg Bailey Button Boot Such a Hit?

It's simple. UGG Australia has morphed together their two most popular styles. They started with the ever-popular UGG Classic Short Boot and then added a Wooden Button from their best-selling, as seen on Oprah, UGG Cardy. Put them together and you get this year's must have UGG style - the Ugg Bailey Button.

The Bailey Button is available in 5 colors including Black, Chestnut, Grey, Chocolate and Sand. California-based retailer Footwear etc. has received all 5 colors into stock at their 7 stores and is already seeing positive results. Footwear etc. Manager, Andrew Monarch, said "It is not a matter of IF the Bailey sells out, but how quickly. We highly recommend that our customers secure their boots early before it's too late."

Right, it is not a matter of IF the Bailey sells out, but how quickly. So we highly recommend that our customers secure their pair early before it's too late.

The UGG Bailey Button is also very versatile as it can be worn up or folded down for a different look. They feature a soft foam insole and a genuine sheepskin lining. If you haven't experience the comfort of authentic UGG Australia Boots yet then your feet have been missing out. Give the new UGG Bailey Button a try today or if it's not for you, there's always the popular classic styles including UGG Classic Short, UGG Classic Tall and UGG Classic Cardy.

But remember... don't wait to get your UGGs. Every year people procrastinate and then they can't find the UGG Boots they want. UGG Sale--Shop early for the best selection. The closer to Christmas you get the harder it gets to find UGGs.

I'm going to say $15. I can buy many things for $15 each without thinking much about it.

This week, I bought an 8 GB flash drive for $15 while still half-asleep. I'm pretty pleased with it.

True, iPhone apps is a whole new category of price sensitivity. For me
it's about the same – 99 cents or $1.99 I can drop easily but I start
checking out the reviews when it gets into the 3 – 5 dollar range.

I'd love to see what kind of apps a kid would install on their own
Touch.

Kalea's favorite games right now are:

Tap Tap Revolution 2 (free, and free song downloads)

Sally's Spa ($.99)

Scoops ($.99, but I got it free on "National Ice Cream Day" when they had a promotion)

Koa's favorite games are:

Farm Animals ($.99, pictures of animals, animal sounds and a quiz to match sound and animal)

Koi Pond ($.99, touch the fish, lol)

When I first got my iPhone I swore I wouldn't buy any apps. But then I got hooked on the 99 cent and $1.99 apps. So I guess you could say that for a mobile app, $1.99 is my "what the heck price" (actually it might be $2.99).

Kindle is an interesting one. I think my what the heck price is $99 like yours, with the added hurdle that I'm wary of "yet another platform/device" and would need to overcome that.

I've been wanting to get my daughter an iPod Touch. And right now it's just way too expensive for me to consider for a kid. I do think that I'd seriously consider one for her if it was $99 or lower.

I don't subscribe to many magazines these days, but I've always enjoyed Wired. So when they sent me a subscription card for the $10 Wired subscription, I said "what the heck". I think I got a couple of other magazines at the 5 or 10 rate.

There's probably other good examples, but I can't think of them right now.
