You are both correct, of course. I am a doofus. I didn't even bargain; I'm really really bad at that .

But I'd looked on eBay and used wheelsets were around $100 in good shape, so I didn't think it was a total ripoff. This shop is very unusual. Super messy, but a virtual treasure trove of old components. They never know what they have because they never inventory anything. Anyway, I went on a long ride today, and I loved the wheelset. Bottom line is I'm satisfied with them at the price.
