Unfortunately, prices vary according to local market demands. The cost of shipping six geese (especially the type that are a-laying) from a "more economical market" may preclude THAT thought. Good luck, though!
A little more than the cost of two turtle doves and three french hens - but less than the cost of seven swans (which aren't very exciting and will only go a-swimming).
I think, unless you specifically want goose eggs, you would be as happy with 2 x three french hens. They are lower maintenance than geese and you should be able to pick them up at a slightly lower cost, particularly with the state of the economy. French hen eggs are also in greater demand than goose eggs, so you should turn a profit sooner than you would on goose eggs - so long as you were not planning to eat all the eggs yourself!
This profit, of course, will permit you to achieve your goal and buy a ring for each finger of one hand. If successful as a business person, you might consider investing in a dairy farm (eight cows + maids to milk them) - which may eventually enable you to take a break from your work and enjoy the music and entertainment of a large pipe and drum band - accompanied by dancers (comprised of ladies dancing, and lords a-leaping).
If you do not have the means to follow this business plan - may I suggest growing Pears - it is always the starting point of the yuletide entrepreneur.
My only warning - beware the distractions offered by the song of the calling bird. It is lovely to behold - but often leads to disaster, unless quickly distracted (which is why you will need to buy your five gold rings)
They cost around 10 dollors for a gosling and around 50 for an adult. This all depends on size, breed, and showing capabilities.

The number of ghosts that appeared to Ebenezer Scrooge in "A Christmas Carol" is four. The number of geese-a-laying in the "Twelve Days of Christmas" is six. Therefore, the sum of the ghosts multiplied by the geese-a-laying is 4 x 6 = 24.
