Here's a very dumb idea:

Ok, so all of you must have seen the decade old internet cliche, the pun of naming price of at least 2 consecutive things, and price the last one "Priceless!" ? How bout remembering some priceless experiences of the order of the stick?

Here's one:

Super bouncy rubber ball: 2 gp
Symbol of Insanity: 5,000 gp
Having your pelvis bone handed to you by an ancient paladin spirit: PRICELESS!


Here's another:
Having your ancestral greatsword reforged: Small amount of starmetal
Ring of Jumping: Gift from best friend
Falling headfirst down from an undead flying dragon to your ultimate death: PRICELESS!



Ok. your turn:
