Not to rain on your parade, but here's the problem with that:

1. The exploitation potential is huge:
If there is a potential exploit in a game, there are players who will abuse it. Already there have been cases of such behavior in the game. Fortunately, these exploits have all been very minor things that make little impact in the grand scheme of things. Programming is hard to get perfect, were there to be some sort of exploit involving an item that can instantly level someone or something up, the consequences would be enormous. Could you imagine if Pokemon Red/Blue was an MMORPG with the item duplication glitch (AKA, the rare candy glitch), it would be a disaster.

2. Personally, I don't see there being any perfect price for such an item. It's simultaneously invaluable, as well as simply not worth the cost to me. That's just my personal opinion though... Point #1 is the main concern.
