The Price of Design

I was just looking around at a local store that sells fixtures. I really liked a door handle I was looking at and asked the salesperson how much it costs. It was very minimal and made of stainless steel. Also keep in mind that this is an interior door handle, not one of those big front door handles. I knew I was in trouble when he said "Oh, you have expensive taste!" I started thinking, "Oh shit this thing probably costs a couple hundred bucks." No such luck. Try $350.00! Holy shit, will it defeat GW if I buy it? WIll it give me a handy every time I use it? Will it make my hair start growing back? It better do something besides open a fucking door for that much money!
