In summary, the item being discussed is numbers for house addresses, with the price being 2 for $1, 36 for $2, and 475 for $3. DarkEternal is correct in guessing that the item is cheaper by the dozen DVD, as nobody wants to buy it. BicycleTree's guess is also likely correct.

There's an item in the store, the price of which is 2 for a dollar. 36 can be had for 2 dollars and 475 will cost you 3 dollars. What is the item?

You know how you can buy the actual numbers to nail up on your house for your address? Let's say each one costs $1.00. Now read what he has up top. The number "2" will cost... $1.00. The numbers "3" and "6" (36) will cost you $2.00. And the numbers "4", "7" and "5" will cost you $3.00.
