lets look at the question based upon economics.
a sale is made when buyer and seller agree on a price.
there is a basic principle that i learned in first college eco. course:
the value in use=the value in exchange.
only you can answer your own question.
listen to and compare digital hardware. at what price points, does the value in exchange exceed the value in use ? this is a subjective question which depends upon your ears and your wallet.
as an example, i won't buy a merceds or audi because i think they are overpriced. it is not a question of whether i can afford something. i refuse to pay more than i believe something is worth. if the seller won't meet my price.
the principle its implicit in most transactions, although there are some wealthy people who will buy something if they can afford it, regardless of price and value.
in conclusion, you will spend as much money, given a budget constraint until the price exceeds its intrinsic value, as determined by you.
no one can assign a dollar amount for you.
i use this principle whenever possible. obviously, it doesn't always work in the supermarket. it can be applied to eating out at a restaurant or going to a movie. this principle works well when applied to expensive products.
