Expensive Grapes

Slightly off topic but during a phone conversation with a Korean friend Monday night, she mentioned she just joined Weee!, an online Asian grocery store. My mom also orders regularly from Weee! as well. She also said she ordered some crazy expensive grapes so I had to go look. $43 for 600 grams or $32.50/pound. I think most of the cost is the refrigerated air shipping from Korea, especially when there are barely any flights between Korea and the US. Anyway, my friend received the grapes last night and said they were just so so. She actually likes the bulk Costco grapes better. Looking from the photo, it appears to be about $1/grape.

Other stuff on Weee! is priced more reasonably.
