How to use 高价
高价 often works like an adjective-noun chunk before another noun or after verbs like 卖 (mài) or 买 (mǎi). Example: 他高价卖掉了那辆车。(Tā gāojià màidiào le nà liàng chē.) He sold that car at a high price.
高价 is simply 高 (gāo, high) plus 价 (jià, price). Picture a price tag hung high up on a tall tower, so high you can barely reach it.
Common mistake: Learners often say 价格很高价, which repeats the idea. Say 价格很高 (jiàgé hěn gāo) for "the price is high," and keep 高价 for phrases like 高价商品 or 以高价出售.
