it seems like it happens enough to be an acceptable alternate way of saying the cost of something; I see it a lot, including (in fact mostly) by native speakers

Languages evolve, or we'd all still be grunting the first sounds. "No, the other other rock. Damn, we should come up with more names for things!"
