What's the most you'd spend per pound on a fruit?

Lots of reasons to spend, and to save your $.
I fall into the category of being willing to sacrifice body parts like Lycheeluva (left mammary gland).

Where do you fit in???

I think the most I've ever paid was $30 or $40 a pound for some fruit. That included shipping. Wouldn't do it again.
Future:
A few days ago I saw vine ripened tomatoes in a local store for $11 per pound. These might not even be organic.
Cherimoyas routinely sell for $9 each.
All imported of course.
I have paid $4 for a single persimmon )$12 per pound?)
Passion fruit also sells for ridiculous prices per pound $4 for one fruit, as do figs (I have seen hem for $3 for one little fruit).
Welcome to Bermuda.

I can understand imported fruits costing so much, but why are figs and passinfruits so expensive in Bermuda? Seems like those could easily be grown locally?

Passion fruit, yes. I suppose people can't be bothered by how muh space they take up. Figs grow here too but are not as popular. Grafted trees are very very hard to come by. A friend is meant to be air layering a Osborne prolific...

No fences in Bermuda? You can grow passionfruit right on a chain linked fence, takes no space, and turns ugly fence into something nice to look at. Figs you don't need to graft. Super easy to start from cuttings.
