Yeah Tog, I know of folks that talk about eating the cheap fruits like crazy when traveling in Thailand or wherever. I've bought rambutan a couple of times (non-irradiated fruit from Guatemala) and think it was something like $5-$6/pound. I buy less than a pound at a time when I buy them so it's not too extreme.

None of the mangosteens I've purchased have had gambouge though I've heard that is often a problem and not detectable from exterior appearances. Is it much of a problem there? Do you think it's related to wind damage or some other cause?
