Title:
when something is unreasonably expensive it is said to....
Answer:
cost you your right arm
 
Hints:
1. a limb
 
Equivalents:
1. It will cost a bundle. (of money)
2. It will cost a fortune.
3. It going to cost an arm and a leg.
 
Explanation:
This sounds odd I admit but it is quite common. I am not sure why the right arm is mentioned as opposed to the other one.
