Oftentimes, the price depends on the plant itself. Firstly, collectors selling off excess plants often sell them for cheap. Secondly, common ones are often MUCH cheaper than rare ones. Thirdly, seeds are sold for really cheap for lots of seeds.
I'd suggest the following prices:
Big S. purpurea $7-$10 because it is pretty common, and bigger than 3" is not really big for this plant.
Medium S. purpurea $4-$7
Small S. purpurea $2-$3
D. capensis 'Alba' $3-$6
Seeds $1-$3 for 25-50 seeds, which makes cost per seed a few cents. I'd even sell them for cheaper than that, with $1-$3 for 100-200 seeds, because I'm nice.
Personally, I'd use the lower end of the prices, or even lower than these.

Thanks, and yeah the agriculture teacher ain't happy with them, probably because these are perennials and I can sells to friends and their friends and all he sells are poinsettias to some teachers and the fire department. Also I only have around 200 nepenthe seeds
