Don't know what a Foo is...
Fakey, "foo" is often used in programming examples to represent an unknown variable, such as the above:
foo = 100 gp;
It's handy when you can't come up with anything clever in your example, plus there's the added bonus of being able to put foo(bar) when you're trying to explain something. That and you can whip out with the Mr T impressions - "I pity the foo that has to instantiate this class!"

OP, Dungeon adventures usually list treasure in two ways: 1) named or generic items such as bracers of armor +x or Boccob's blessed book, for example. These items go through the usual half price selling process; 2) items that have a gp value listed such as a golden statue or a gem-encrusted drinking mug.
In the case of #2, what has been listed as the value is exactly what it's worth on the open market.

Thank you. I will try harder to pretend to understand more in the future.

P.S. I love it when you call me "Fakey";P
