[HPforGrownups] price of wands/Possible question to pose to JKR

A friend of mine makes wands...they are of thick copper tubing,  decorated 
uniquely, and sell on average of $50, some more elaborate ones nearing $80.  
I think if it contained horn of unicorn or feather of phoenix, the price 
might truly rise! =)

  If a wand costs eight galleons (says it somewhere, I think in PS where Harry
 gets his) that makes it worth... EIGHTY POUNDS???  Good lord...  Are they
 really worth that much??  I mean, I know they're expensive but even so... >>
