I presume like me people have pm'ed the seller to be told the price.. but not sure why it has to then be made public in a "surely that's too pricey" kind of way... maybe he can try and get what he wishes to for it? the price will only come down if it's too much for everyone. While I was disappointed that it was my size but so much more than I could afford, in my opinion the mug ain't the one trying to sell something at a price, it's the one who buys it.. mugs have hiked the market even more than the law of supply and demand would have recently and in this way I've seen tons of dreams fade in the past year as a ton of mugs out there happily splash way over what they should for things - I ain't a mug, I ain't even got money to be a mug, so that's the way it goes.
But let's not try and berate someone for trying to sell something - berate the mugs for spoiling it for everyone else. And if you start doing that you need to look round at, I imagine, at least a quarter of the people on the forum. For my money a lot of what some of the "boutiques" are charging (and I won't say which ones spring to mind cos that wouldn't be fair) is way over what people should be happy to pay, but there you go.
