What's a fair asking price for herb plants at farmers' markets?

Basil
Rosemary
Chives
Dill
Mint
Sage
Thyme
Oregano

Probably in 4" pots

Around here, in the city of Chicago, the prices vary from $2 - $2.50 for
any of the above herbs in 4" pots. Last year Home Depot had tons of
Basil for $1.99. One Farmer's Market I frequent aptly called The Farmers
Market has a wide selection of herbs in 4" pots for $2.19 each.
Hopefully enough of my buys last year will come up again this year. As
for mint, there is absolutely no need to buy that. Find anyone with mint
in their garden and they'll be pulling out the stuff like weeds and
should be happy to give you some.
