Well, it depends on what kind of crochet hooks you want. Today (mid-2016) you can get a plastic hook for just a couple of dollars. You can get an inexpensive aluminum hook for just a little more. However, if you want to get into fancier hooks, like wooden hooks or soft touch or specialty hooks made to help with Arthritis and carpal tunnel you will pay more. If you want to collect hooks, you can get hand made ones, hooks with pretty tops (like flowers, animals or other things) for around $25 or $30. You can even buy big hooks, such as the Go Giant hooks for $50. So all that means that you can get a simple hook quite inexpensively or you can get a more expensive hook. They both will crochet your item though some types of hooks seem to work better with some types of material. For the most part it is just a personal decision.
