What happened to the MRE prices?

Hello all.
It's been a while, other hobbies and stupid things like working keep me occupied.
I haven't even checked the new menus (well, new to me), I'll do that later.
So, what happened to the MRE prices? I checked ebay.de and they seem way more expensive than last time I bought.
Are they in short supply?
I was thinking of getting a case (after I remind myself of the menus) but they seem so expensive now it takes the fun out of it

Some sellers are just too greedy! That´s it.

Yep, that would do it!
In the meantime I've been checking the recent menus list (2008/09/10), looking good.

That's a great price, the problem part is the shipping.
I pretty much assume that any MRE cases I get would be from Germany.
I don't know where they get them, but there seems to be a steady supply on ebay.de.

It was...
But most US installations were shut down and the troops either send back to the States or to "far east".
