OK, I see the problem. Try using this line:

			set contents of contents of myPriceHolder to "$PRICE"

Your problem is that myPriceHolder is a reference to an item in a list, 
and the script is being interpreted as an attempt to set the contents 
of that item of the list, not the contents of what it refers to. This 
is a good reason to use the "repeat with i from ... to..." form of 
repeat instead of the "repeat with ... in ..." form.
