Seems like something you may have to code yourself.
This is a rough estimate of what I would do. This is not tested
<?php
$my_query = new WP_Query('category_name=special_cat');
$prices = array();
$price;
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
// GET THE CUSTOM PRICE AND PLACE IT IN AN ARRAY
array_push($prices,get_post_meta($post->ID,cp_price,true));
foreach($prices as $single){
$price = $single + $price;
}
// GET THE AVERAGE
$average = count($prices) / $price;
endwhile; ?>
Justin, thank you, that was FAST! 🙂
Since I am only in the very begining of php, could you tell me how the code would change if for example I would be interested in the average of the cp_price custom field from all the posts in the category that has the ID=50?
Thank you, if you pass Romania, drop by for a coffee 🙂

$average = count($prices) / $price;
endwhile; ?>
Remember I have not tested this but it will get you on the right track
Ok, thank you.
All I have to read now is how to adapt a piece of code to be able to use it in a widget (copy/paste).
Thank you very J,
your coffee is waiting 😉

Justin,
One more question: because I don’t see divs or classes in your code, is there a need for css for what you sugested?
Thank you!
Puiu D.
