<h3>.*?(?:(?P<prices>[0-9]+[0-9\.,]*).*?){0,3}</h3>

Will search for max three prices, will allow none.

<h3>.*?(?:(?P<prices>[0-9]+[0-9\.,]*).*?){1,3}</h3>

Will search for max three prices, will allow at least one.

<h3>.*?(?:(?P<prices>[0-9]+[0-9\.,]*).*?)+?</h3>

Will search for as many prices as there are, will allow at least one.

<h3>.*?(?:(?P<prices>[0-9]+[0-9\.,]*).*?)*?</h3>

Will search for as many prices as there are, will allow none.
