I agree that your rant is unwarranted. However, please check out CI's auctions. These are both up there routinely and rarely go for more than 20$/bx. Your shipping more than CI, which is free, but I'll bet you still save a couple bucks. I'd bet if you bid up to 20per, you'll win both for less w/shipping than CI prices. Beauty is that you can set your max bid to what your CI tolerance price is and not lose.
I don't see same initials in both, so, I'm guessing you didn't win these two. Looks like you could have had both for under your $39 limit (shipped.) Shoot, the quick-buy (no-bid) price on the natties was only 13.50. Keep checking - they pop up there quite a bit.
