prices

What shoppers compare

Prices is the plural of price—what something costs or what someone asks for it.

Prices rise and fall with supply and demand.

To price something is to set or determine its cost: Help me price these items for the garage sale.

If you price yourself out of the market, you ask more than buyers will pay.
