Too bad, Do you know of anyone who knows how much it would be?

TIME TO BREAK OUT THE MATH (or maths).
Here's a shot in the dark for you. Please note that I am bad at statistics.
I looked up all of the WCA products and higher-order cube products YuXin makes on The Cubicle, and gave them each a point on the graph with the y-value being their price in USD. I then found a line of best fit. The best one I found was a polynomial function, with R^2 being 0.988. (R^2 is a value between 0 and 1 that shows how much the trendline correlates with the data. The closer to 1, the better.)

According to these calculations, the 17x17 that YuXin is releasing will be available on the Cubicle for a whopping price of $393.77 USD. Maybe more, maybe less. This is just an educated guess. In comparison, Oskar's 17x17x17 is$275.90 + 6($395.00) =$2645.90 USD. That's about 6.7 times as expensive as my guess for the cube price.

For those who don't live in the US, here's the conversions as of typing this. Numbers will most likely not be the actual price.
$393.77 USD (US Dollars)$524.75 CAD (CA Dollars)
£318.20 (British Pounds)
₹25725.11 (Indian Rupees)
¥2719.30 (Chinese Yuan)
¥44254.24 (Japanese Yen)
€393.77 (Euro)
EDIT: add more people wondering what it costs, spelling errors, math errors.

Very nice, but are you sure the original 11x11 should be counted, considering how much older it is than the rest (and that it very likely isn't even manufactured anymore since the Huanglong)?

That is a good consideration, but The Cubicle still sells (versions of) this cube. Of course, buying the new 11x11 is a much more obvious choice because it's less expensive (except pink stickerless doesn't do justice to me).
Here's the math without it.
Taking out the outdated old YuXin 11x11 changes the trendline to 1.655x^2 + 6.976x + 13.299, with an R^2 of 0.986.
A 17x17 according to this would be $373.01 USD (using ceiling function because of economics).

I'm having trouble crunching the numbers on my phone, but that's another way to look at the data. EDIT: my methodology is probably suspect (approximate linear trendline for$/n^2) but here are my predicted prices for hypothetical future yuxin big cube releases:
12x12: $174 13x13:$185
14x14: $240 15x15:$249
16x16: $315 17x17:$325
18x18: $405 19x19:$420
20x20: $510 21x21:$520
