I can't speak to the current situation, but I did get some reasonably priced stuff from Levi when I was actively involved in vintage collecting. He can't be an expert on every price nuance. Additionally, he was always a pleasure to both buy from as well as to sell to. He paid fair prices on stuff he wanted of mine and was typically willing to take 10% or so off of his cards that I bought. He is a decent guy and I always had good interactions with his people.
If someone is "overpriced", just stay away from his stuff. If they are a jerk, then don't deal with them. But if someone is pleasantly firm on their pricing, there's certainly no reason to take it personally. It's simply a business transaction.
