Alpha Boost is one of the game’s very first sets of rewards that players could earn for taking part in Rocket League’s alpha phase testing. It’s not the real name for the item, just a term bestowed upon it by the community. Alpha Boost’s real name is “Gold Rush (Boost).”
Rocket League cars can be customized in a great number of ways, one of which is the substance and color of the car’s boost. Alpha Boost is a rather standard, thinner stream of fire that has pretty much been made obsolete by many other boost variations, but the prestige and extreme rarity of the item have made it extremely desirable.

As with everything supply and demand affects the price of Alpha Boost, so we wouldn’t expect this item to ever be cheap unless it gets a limited-release in the shop.
