Is there a law preventing me from for example selling a baseball hat for $20,000?

    No, not really. If there was some other goal besides the honest exchange of the hat for the money, then maybe. Fraud (“the hats made of gold and is therefore a great value!”) and price gouging (“it’s the only hat for sale on a sunny day so I’m selling it at a 1000x markup!”) might be crimes in some contexts. As mentioned, money laundering (avoiding tax or other legal requirements to move money) is also a crime.
