I don't think that is reasonable to post comments to the whole list about a price that anyone sets in an ad. If you aren't interested in the item that is no problem for you and if you are then you can choose to try to negotiate with the seller off-list. Usually we have a little more comradely spirit amongst the active community for buy and sell here.
