You have a problem because your replace string is smaller than your 
search string. All the references to the search string are based on 
offset in the story, and as soon as you make the first replace, the 
rest of your references are invalid. The solution is to rewrite your 
code so you replace in the reverse order, from last to first. Something 
like:

repeat with i from (count of items of myPriceHolderList) to 1 by -1
set contents of item i of myPriceHolderList  to "$PRICE"
...
