I wrote the post as it related to me. You have no idea as to my financal situation. To a begger, a $3.99 hamburger is pricey. To a billionaire, a $500 million dollar private jet is just pocket change. Everything relates back to whoever is making the statement. Now, to me, that V21 is pricey. I cannot easly afford it. It is not a statement as to it's worth to someone else, or even to it's retail value. It's simply a statement as it's cost, relative to me. If you are rich, or at least financally comfortable, and can easily afford that boat, then by all means, call it a low price or a fair price. And for you, you would be correct in your call. But for me, since I cannot afford it, I will continue to call things that I would like, but cannot easily afford, .... pricey.
Typically " wish I could afford it "......or " wish I had the money" goes with that. All I'm saying is a V21 with a 200hp, full enclosure and trailer....assuming in good shape asking under $ 7,000 is a darn good buy....a boat to jump on and check out if someone's in the market, and all things considered.....a real fair deal. I'd be on it today if I didn't have my own V21.

We own V's, so to me........ unless a guys asking crazy high money, I say calling it " pricey" can only diminish the perceived value....that's all. No big deal beyond that.
