Snap Poll: How Much Is Too Much for a Gray Sweatshirt?

I wear a lot of gray and black--a lot of gray sweatshirts in particular. And there's one as of late--an Alex Wang Spring 2010 number--that I've had my eye on. So I was super excited to find it on sale at Aloha Rag, one of the best boutiques in the city (and online). It originally retailed for $350 and is currently marked down to $245. Now, I've examined this puppy in person, and along with a kind-of-sexy crisscross back, it's lined in a silky fabric, which feels very luxurious. But as big a spender as I am, I can't bring myself to buy it. I just can't justify $245 for a gray sweatshirt (even if it is worth that much in fabric, design and labor, which I'm confident this one is.) So I'd love to know: How much would you pay for a gray sweatshirt?
