Well, apparently some nigh artifact like / single-purpose weapon containing a soul bind spell? If you make it useable only once or once a month / year, the price may even be reasonable. But who knows, as we are talking drow magic and/or a magic item wielded by the archmage of Menzo.

So it can steal and store nine souls?
What would happen if a lich was destroyed? Would is soul be stored or return to is phylactery?

Look up the nine-lives stealer long sword in the DMG.

Sounds like gripsoul in the epic level handbook but as an axe.
