No need to apologize.
This reminds me of people posting "replies" on Craigslist to sellers setting a price "too high." What's the point? Nobody is forcing anyone to be a part of a transaction. If you're actually a potential customer, then try to negotiate with the seller and see if you can agree on a lower price. If not, then move on.
