Nah. It’s like frozen onions being cheaper than fresh. They are just orders of magnitude cheaper to ship and store and still be in a useful state. If you get artisanal fresh, never frozen bones they are a lot more expensive.
Frozen bone for transplant that I’ve seen (I work in Blood Bank) are small pieces, not entire bone. That price quote doesn’t specify per gram, per bone, or per “unit” so who knows.
bones are wildly undervalued

But remember, whenever possible, buy locally-sourced bones; it’s better for the environment, and they’ll be fresher that way. 👍
