The other day at the mall I came across what is probably the most expensive commodity there is.
USD 8,888,889/kg
[USD 4,031,932/lb]
Well OK, I guess a one lb diamond would cost more than that... but anyway, still mind-boggling.
Mind-boggling, because the commodity seems so mundane when you hear about it.
And so, I leave you all to guess what it is. I doubt anybody would be able to guess.
Hint: It is not a food item.
Hint: It is used only in the rich Middle Eastern countries by disgustingly wasteful princes.
Will login again after about 20 hours.
Happy guessing!
P.S. There is a "hidden" third hint in this post. 1/28/2007 6:32:57 AM

For reference:
Rhodium is the most expensive precious metal:
USD 85,000/lb
But, according to the intArnets, the most expensive object:
Californium-252: at $1,000 per microgram (note;1968 price)
Which translates to USD 454 million/lb. 1/28/2007 6:42:34 AM

It's either something really offwall and exotic
Or something tottally ordinary that is some how "special" (probably bullshit). - which i'm leaning towards since you apparently saw the thing? (or info about the thing) in a mall.
Although I'm at a loss at to what exactly it is.

its at the mall, and its mundane, so lets assume it costs $20.
then it must weigh .00008 oz
so, what weighs nothing and costs $20 1/28/2007 2:41:05 PM
