No, "costed" is not a word. It's just "Cost".

When something has been "costed", its price has been estimated, or marked. If you bought something at the store the other day, it might have -cost- you money.
From an online Dictionary, which you could easily have looked up;
"- How carefully did you cost the materials for the new fence and gate?

- Has your scheme been properly costed (out)?"

Hope that answers your question,

-K
