Four Million Onyx Apples?

there are a few reasons i can think of that could increase apple prices

1) APQ glitch a bit back which pretty much killed the supply of apples temporarily
2) nearly daily ht runs because of a particularly generous ht. uses up about 120 apples per run.

i'm pretty sure that you just came accross a really expensive shop. from what i know, apples should be between 3m and 3.5m in khaini
