How is cocaine priced?

Cocaine prices have notably decreased over the years. Freeway Rick Ross mentioned that in the late 1970s to early 1980s, a gram of cocaine could cost around $375. By the time they stopped selling, the price had dropped significantly, with kilograms going for as low as $9,500 compared to the initial $45,000 per kilo 1.
