Mmmm I think you are comparing with cheapie "computer grade crystals". That price of $12 is pretty much in line with charges for "made to measure" crystals in the UK at £7 to £8 (GBP) each (3rd or 5th OT) some discount for quantities over 10. These would be on spec and of commercial quality, suitable for instance for radio applications. Computer grade cystals can be ok for some applications but are generally of a much lower standard of quality. There is much lower demand for crystals since all radio use sythersisers now and a lot of companies have gone out of business because to total market is much smaller.
If cheapies will suit and 80MHz is not available you could always use 40MHz which I think is in the range and use a low noise doubler ??
