Racquet Prices

Any of you also play a bit of pickleball here and there on the side? I feel like im getting scammed spending $10-15 on a can of plastic balls or $200-$300 on a paddle. It seems alot of people over there are ok with paying a premium. How much money would you spend on a tennis racquet before you say its too much money objectively? For example if Babolat set MSRP of pure aero 26 to $350 or $400 it would be insane.
