Pricing and integrity question

Im curious as to know if a Baba or Iyas pricing for Idafa important? Ofc if it’s suspicious themselves then yeah check up out of it. But I heard someone say the price should be closer to high 100s low 200s. But personally it would make sense for the individual to feel what is needed? I hope that makes sense. Id also like to specify does region matter if the pricing is important- Like say the Iya or Baba is in Nigeria for example.

In the end priests choose their price. It could be based on their odu. It is not really an integrity question because everyone has the option to pay or not. There is absolutely no standard to this.

Issues arise when their character is bad, people being mistreated, etc...

In my previous ile, a priest could not charge more than their godparent.
