Is some art so special, that it's 'priceless'?

Unlike the flash mob apparently, and unlike anything else in the real world of commerce?

You don't go into an estate agents, wanting to buy a house, and they take your money, but without actually telling you how much the house is valued at, or how much they've taken, and thus allowing you the right to decide if it is worth what was paid.
