PRICE, contracts. The consideration in money given for the purchase of a 
thing. 
     2. There are three requisites to the quality of a price in order to 
make a sale. 
     3.-1. It must be serious, and such as may be demanded: if, therefore, a 
person were to sell me an article, and by the agreement, reduced to writing, 
he were to release me from the payment, the transaction would no longer be a 
sale, but a gift, Poth. Vente, n. 18. 
     4.-2. The second quality of a price is, that the price be certain and 
determinate; but what may be rendered certain is considered as certain if, 
therefore, I sell a thing at a price to be fixed by a third person, this is 
sufficiently certain, provided the third person make a valuation and fix the 
price. Poth. Vente, n. 23, 24. 
     5.-3. The third quality of a price is, that it consists in money, to be 
paid down, or at a future time, for if it be of any thing else, it will no 
longer be a price, nor the contract a sale, but exchange or barter. Poth. 
Vente, n. 30; 16 Toull. n. 147. 
     6. The true price of a thing is that for which things of a like nature 
and quality are usually sold in the place where situated, if real property; 
or in the place where exposed to sale, if personal. Poth. Contr. de Vente, 
n. 243. The first price or cost of a thing does not always afford a sure 
criterion of its value. It may have been bought very dear or very cheap.

living one, to lay it as of such a price when dead, of such a value. 8
