Default why the hell are optima yellow top so rare

or is it just my crappy area? im in brooklyn and ive only been to 2 stores so far because it was getting late. Both autozone and strauss auto carried optima batteries but did not carry D35 batteries which are the ones we need

what other stores might i be able to find this battery in? And is $200 fair? in autozone site it says its 210 but i seem to see many members getting it for much cheaper

yeah i know but that a last resort because id rather pay an extra $20 to get it in person. I want to avoid a long downtime

i think costco is my only choice left right now. Been to about 6 stores and none of them carried optima, or they didnt have D35
