Hi! I'm the proprietor of onionfutures.com. I'm actually not a member of UChicago for Our Futures and came up with the idea independently, but we've since connected and they handle our Chicago deliveries.
replyI can confirm this person is the owner of onionfutures.com
replyAre you really charging $9/onion? I get upset when Safeway charges $2/lb when I can get onions for a quarter that price.
replyYes, it's primarily a novelty/art thing. But I do actually deliver the onions. Prices vary.
replyPriced to what the market can bear
replyMaybe it's a really big onion
replymaybe it tastes more oniony than most onions, these onions are the essential onions of which other onions are mere shadows.
replyIt's the mischief caused by shadow onions lurking in dark corners of the market bins that make me cry.

replyI'm a young naive lad curious about this, have UChicago economics professors and/or grad students ever done something that might be considered like, idk, a crime against humanity stain on one's soul, in the past couple of decades?
