That's been changed, Larry (as alluded to earlier in this message).

NOW, when you hit 'reply', it -should- go to the person posting the 
message, only.

Replying to 'All', would go to the sender -and- the list.

If you have a compliant mail client (ie: Thunderbird) you are afforded 
the choices of the two previously mentioned, as well as "Reply to List", 
which only goes to the list.

This will help keep discussions (such as shipping, trade) off the list.

For what it's worth, I, too, agree that the price should be set by the 
seller and posted with the ad.  The potential buyer then has the option 
of whether they do or don't want to do business with the seller.  Which 
ever way the potential buyer decides to go, if the buyer simply clicks 
"reply" then it'll go to the poster of the ad by default, and not to the 
list, the way the list is now setup.
