Thanks for all the responses guys. How are the ties from tiebar? I've never purchased from them but they look like they have a good selection. Are the on par with Brooks Brothers or Polo?
I agree on $285 being overkill for a tie, but even if you have a skilled hand at making great knots, a cheaply woven tie wont dimple as well nor allow for thicker knots unless one goes beyond the four in hand. I have a few Tom Ford ties, all purchased in and around $110 - and at that price, worth the money IMO.
REALLY varies. B&S has me spoiled. Ill pay over $100 if its a tie that i really want and cant find something similar for cheaper. but with people like Spoo who purges gorgeous ties more than i change underwear for less than i pay for said underwear...why pay more?!

Rarely spend more than $30-45 on a tie. Given, I buy all my ties at places like Daffy's, Century 21 and the like, but they are the same high quality stuff you'd be spending $100-$200 on at a regular retail store (for example, Altea, Ferre, Moschino). And for those that like Drake's ties, I've seen those pretty regularly at Neiman Marcus Last Call stores for under $50 (leftovers from Bergdorf's). Often with this kind of stuff, as many have mentioned with thrift stores, it's more where you buy than what you buy that makes the price differential -- quality can be had for cheap, you just need to know where to look and have patience.
