Riddle ;)

You asked for it.What English word is nine letters long, and can remain an English word at each step as you remove one letter at a time, right down to a single letter. List the letter you remove each time and the words that result at each step.At a toy store, a game costs 14 cents, a doll costs 21 cents, a koala bear costs 28 cents, and a top costs 14 cents. How much does a pinwheel cost?When is a door not a door?When is a car not a car?

A pinwheel costs 35 cents.
