Right.

Clear white pine (P. strobus) at a buck-fifty a foot is outrageously high.
I don't buy wider than 13", because that's the capacity of my planer.

I'm not surprised. 2" thick pine (most species) will just be an
exercise in futility as it twists and cups. If you did find it in a
good stable condition, then I'd expect it to be a high pricetag item,
as pine of that grade, tight enough to be good for furniture, is rare.
