NASA only brought back a few hundred pounds or so and they are not for sale - priceless might be a good term to use. When foreign governments or lucky universities are given samples it is usually only in tiny pieces or a bit of dust. Meteorites that have been confirmed to be from the moon (tektites) are worth millions for large pieces - several pounds.
The moon rock brought back by Apollo 11 was called "Sample 10057".
The overwhelming majority of moon rock is basalt, a very common volcanic rock. Earth has more basalt than it knows what to do with. Two equal volumes of basalt, one from earth and the other from the moon would weigh just about the same (on earth).
Neil Armstrong collected about 47.5 pounds (21.5 kilograms) of moon rock during the Apollo 11 mission. This rock and soil were brought back to Earth for scientific study.
A rock would weigh less on the Moon than on Earth due to the Moon's lower gravity. On the Sun, a rock would weigh significantly more due to the Sun's much stronger gravitational pull compared to Earth.
