The buy decision is influenced by the price. So it begs the question: At what price does Google Glass need to hit for you to buy?

#2I am a person that likes to get all this new geeky stuff even if I then don't use it... I would pay anything up to $600/$700. There isn't a particular reason, I just enjoy trying new gadgets and feel them mine.

#3I would buy it as an add-on to my analog glasses at $500, assuming reasonable weight and battery life.

I am the opposite. I don't like having things I don't use and I'm almost never an early adopter; I tend to wait for reviews.

#5I 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.

#6$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.

#7I would be willing to pay up to €900 for it. I really do feel that they would be revolutionary and they should be reasonable priced to flood the market.

#8I think $500 is a reasonable amount of pay, $250 means no profit on it for Google which sets an unrealistic boundary for other businesses.

#9I voted 250 because I feel I would pay at least 250 for it, but 500 seemed too high, so I fall in the middle.

#10$100. The hardware is worth more than that, but that's what I can afford to spend on something I don't need.
