market prices
What things cost
Market prices are the amounts buyers actually pay for goods or services in open trading, as opposed to fixed, suggested, or theoretical values.
The term emphasizes prices determined by supply and demand rather than set by regulation or negotiation: We sell our grain at market prices.
Market price on a restaurant menu typically means the cost varies daily based on availability—common for seafood and seasonal items.
