Higher than market price 

First F-35A cost $221 million when it came off the production line in 2007. Since then, production quantities and know-how have increased, helping the price of the stealthy fifth-generation fighter drop to $79 million today as it gained appeal and buyers in 15 countries

F-35A is much more expensive than F16-V, yet the market price of F-35A is only $79 million.

Taiwan paid $121 million for F16-v, really a big carrot head.
