Swedish term or phrase: ca-priser
ca-priser ordinarily means list price, or suggested retail price; but could it also refer to wholesale prices?

approximate prices
Explanation:
It could refer to wholesale prices, given that many products go through a number of wholesalers before getting to the final retailer. Or they really could just mean that the price is approximately so-and-so much. Do you have any more context?
