What were the prices of quill pens in the 1700's?
The quill pen had been in use for several centuries by the 1700s. It was no longer unusual or rare, although the price depended on the kind of quill. Goose quill pens were very common and not very expensive. The rarer the bird and the more beautiful the plumage, the more expensive the pen. Quill pens had to be replaced every week or so, which kept the price down. In the money of that era, such pens cost about fifty cents to a dollar, with the more elegant pens (from peacock feathers, for example) costing much more. Today, because such pens are harder to find, collectors can pay as much as twenty dollars for a nice one.

I don't think they're actually used, but one tradition of the Court is to lay out a feather pen for each lawyer arguing before the Supreme Court.
