street values

Illegal drug costs

Street value is the price something commands when sold illegally, especially drugs: The cocaine had a street value of two million dollars.

News reports routinely cite street values in drug seizure stories.

The phrase emphasizes black-market pricing rather than production cost or legal retail value.
