The status of the Ferengi in life determined the price set on a disk of their remains. In 2369, the purported vacuum desiccated remains of Grand Nagus Zek were selling for 20 bars of latinum per disk. Nava was originally hesitant to pay that price but purchased a disk anyway when Krax promised him it would be worth twice as much in a year. (DS9: "The Nagus") As Zek was later revealed to be alive, it is unclear what the source of the desiccated material was.
