Aaron, When you're in a hole, stop digging.
And put your brain in gear. As Don points out, large quantities would result in lower prices, not higher ones. I suspect whoever posted this meant $1,000/ton, not per pound. And LESS for larger quantities. If larger quantities cost more, people would just ship consignments of one, wouldn't they? Work it out for yourself.
