i have some i know are worth their high price to me. to each their own & all that, of course, just thought i'd start this thanks to the ridiculous immediate resale prices on the DBA sunshines.
moogerfoogers other than the delays and freqbox
strymon timeline & mobius
empress vintage modified superdelay & phaser
boss RC-300 loop station (i don't have one but i had an RC-50 and wish i'd hung onto it...)
DBA robot & echo dream 2
eventides even though the only one i've hung onto is the space
edit 1: goatkeeper 3
edit 2: ss/bs poly-grace
know i will edit as i think of more...

I think a lot of high priced pedals are worth it, But I will probably never spend the money to find out for myself. I don't think I have ever paid more than $250 for a pedal without trading.

Depends on what you consider "high price".

Truth. Personally, I think anything $300 and up is some high dollar shit.
Off the top of my head....
MuTron BiPhase
Infanem Faye's Her
Monolith King's Head and Santa Muerte. Probably the Oracle and Spectre too but I haven't checked those out just yet
Goatkeeper 3
Echo Dream
Malekko E600D
Cosmichorus v3
Strymon Timeline and Mobius
Endangered Audio AD4096 but I'm after the upcoming DLX.
I have a DBA Robot too and while I like it, I don't thinks it's versatile enough to warrant that price tag. Unique, yes. Cool looking, shit yes. Versatile and useable, not really.

like i said, to each their own. personally anything over $250 is high priced. i'm basing it more on new prices than used though, unless it's some vintage piece. also aside from a couple delays, couple distortions and a phaser i don't have many "vintage" pedals though, despite my vintage synth addiction...

I think most stuff isn't worth shelling out new for, not when there's used gear and 15% off at prymaxe

IDK, it's still too subjective to me.

"high price" is too ambiguous. for me $200 is a lot for a fuzz, but not for a multi-functional delay or a complicated filter 'n' LFO dealie.
