Default Unreasonable Price??

Okay Im selling my now unused stocko shocks off my AUII, they are genuine Ford and have only done about 1500-2000kms before i went and got full Tickford suspension. A guy was interested so I said how bout 200 bucks for the lot and ill throw in freight\postage... He then tells me he can get aftermarket shocks for less than that. I dodnt think I was being tooo pricey considering they are 135 bucks each from Ford.
So waddyou guys think? :

I've never seen a shock/strut for a Falcon retail for under $100 each. The guy just screwed himself out of a few hundred bucks.

Yeah, neither have I. Well they are still for sale if anyone wants them and for the same price. (Yeah I know I should probably put this in the For Sale forum) LOL
