Synopsis

Whether you're looking to buy or just looking, Everything Has Its Price is a beguiling reference for zealous shoppers and inquisitive browsers alike. Here are descriptions and prices for hundreds of items, from the extraordinary (bumpercar ride, heart transplant, ice sculpture) to the everyday (garbage truck, parking meter, automatic teller machine). Some are products you aren't likely to need (airplane tires: $3691.37), some are treasures most of us cannot afford (Monet's Water Lilies: $12.1 million), and some are things we hope not to need anytime soon (burial at sea: $70). All are intended to arouse and satisfy your curiosity, and they can be purchased for a price.
From mannequins to monster trucks, from the cost of a wedding to the price of a divorce, you'll find it in this compulsively readable guide to almost everything you probably don't know the price of.
