Let's say you are a Real Estate agent and I ask you, "Hey, I want a house, how much does it cost?" You would say to me, "Well, it depends, what kind of house do you want? How many bedrooms, do you want a yard? Etc."
Same thing goes for a shirt. What kind of shirt? What color? Do you want a cheap shirt or a more high end one? What material? It all depends on what you want. Not all shirts cost the same. Neither do houses.

Vector file pro tips
Their There are two issues that tend to crop up regarding vector files:
Create "Outlines" of your fonts
When working in a vector format, the fonts you are using are native to your own computer and do not automatically send with the file you send to your printer.
The default state of the text is "live" which just means editable.
This can be a problem if your printer does not have that exact font you use.
If you need to keep your fonts "live", send your printer the fonts along with the vector files.
Avoid font problems by creating "outlines."
In Illustrator, select all your type, then under the "Type" menu, select "Create Outlines." This will convert all your fonts into text shapes which will help your printer out immensely.
