I would say no, since they're asking over the original MSRP (BTW, this appears to be a 2007):

Thanks.  We will keep searching.  I'm sure there will be future threads about other bikes.

This thing has pretty much any bike under the sun and current valuations of used bikes.

FWIW, they estimate that bike at $96 for like new condition.  Try sending the poster that link an offer for $96 and you might walk away with a good deal.
