I think $500 is a reasonable amount of pay, $250 means no profit on it for Google which sets an unrealistic boundary for other businesses.
Sorry if I come off like a Luddite. Make it a watch.
I would buy it as an add-on to my analog glasses at $500, assuming reasonable weight and battery life.
I assume this is for the eventual productised version and not for the current public beta / "explorer" version. I'd need at least a solid 24 hours of battery life with typical use, and some degree of weather resistance before I'd buy.
$250 seems like a reasonable price to pay for a device that has the potential to provide a significant amount of utility over time. It's also in a nice in between area that allows for experimentation without breaking the budget (splurgtastic birthday gift range) and wouldn't make me cry at the sunk cost if I had to put them on a shelf after wearing them for a month and not liking them.

I think the goal will be somewhere between $200 - $500. I don't actually think the hardware is really that expensive to manufacture, so I could see those numbers being hit pretty easily.
I know it's still early, but it's hard to imagine Glass being more significant to me than my first smart phone, which gave me an incredible amount of information in very convenient form. So it's hard for me to imagine paying even near the same price for it.
No desire to have anything so exposed, let would be a distraction from driving/riding/etc. I know, you take them off when doing activities such as those, well then they aren't for me then. Tech should not intrude into my life, my smart phone doesn't. It is out of the way until I need it. Sorry if I come off like a Luddite. Make it a watch.
Places I'll use my Google Glass: Sport bike, skydiving, hiking, sailing.
$1500? I'd pay $2K.
No thanks.
