Believe it or not, it can be really difficult to find reasonably priced 'Mediterranean' pine nuts. The typical pine nuts you can find are of the Chinese variety, which are known to leave a bad aftertaste. I came across a producer in Arizona who provides the sweeter and tastier 'Mediterranean' variety and sells them for roughly $12.00/lb on Ebay. With shipping it comes to around $20.00, which is still a good value considering the variety of pine nuts you are purchasing.
I'm sure if you contact the producer he/she might be able to give you a combined shipping rate for multiple lbs purchased.
Here is his/her eBay personal page, which shows links to his auctions:

See my previous post on pesto sauce for a good use of pine nuts: http://massiferrucci.blogspot.com/2010/05/pesto_29.html
Enjoy!
