Note OSM can qualify for non-profit pricing on imagery, which can take the cost down to $12/km2. This is what we arranged for the Gaza imagery.

Yeah...but it would be fun to try! ... and while $14/sq Km doesn't sound a lot it would still cost $5376 (£4900) just to get images of (for example) the Isle of Wight in the UK, $11000 (€7440) to get pictures of New York City and $8000 (€5414) for the island of Ibiza in Spain.
