I believe the answer is:

stiff price

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'charged for their wares?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'what the body-snatchers' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'body' could be 'stiff' (stiff is a kind of body) and 'stiff' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'price' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
