> $1-200

This means "$1 to $200 dollars" to me, which is why the next comment, starting with "probably a lot less", surprised me at first.




American English gets so vague when it comes to thing like this. I would write it:

One- to two-hundred dollars

Using the hyphens to indicate that “one” and “two” modify “hundred”
