This is one where a followup or response saying "list is 129.99" may be warranted. 99 is an OK price for a set that lists for 129.99, IMHO.

If you're not willing to sell at the price that the lot ends up at, set your starting bid high enough, or have a reserve in place that's high enough, that you take what you get and are happy.
