An authentic mezuzah is a hand-written Hebrew text on a parchment scroll. It takes a lot of effort and expensive materials to make an authentic mezuzah; MSRP begins at about $35.001. The nicer the mezuzah ' the more time and attention the scribe put into ensuring that the calligraphy is impeccable and beautiful ' the costlier it will be. It is preferable to splurge on a beautiful parchment, rather then spending the money on an ornamental casing. After all, a machine's effectiveness is primarily dependant on the strength of its engine'
unfortunately there are many counterfeit mezuzahs flooding the market
If in doubt ask your Rabbi to guide you to a trustworthy mezuzah vendor.
