Price matters... or it would matter, if she was paying, but she's not. And in a way it wouldn't matter if she was paying, either, because she has no money. She'd probably be able to lift some off people that she drinks from, or could drink from, consdiering that she specializes in people who are for one reason or the other not conscious, but then a good number of those are victims of a robbery or the homeless so... Even if she was to try and return to stealing, she probably wouldn't gather enough money in a very long time.

But Corwin said that he would pay, and while she's still not sure why he offers her so much (can loneliness really go that far?) she won't look this gift horse in the mouth. She wants to be back among people, even if only virtually, and more crucially, she needs the news, needs to learn more about this place in general.

When Corwin shows her the phones, she picks the fat one, hoping that it will be easier to hold for her, only realizing when he turns away again that it was an iPhone. WELL. So much for the price.
