Should I reply to this?

I was not online yesterday even though I had a printer ending on ebay last night, I know most people bid at the end and therefore want to ask questions which I should have been online to answer.

Anyway, I check my emails this morning to find these 5 emails from the same guy:
email 1:
Hi. Is there any sort of problem with the printer? I'm interested but the postage cost is putting me off a bit!!

email 2:
Second attempt:

email 3:
Third attempt: why won't you answer?

email 4:
Either you're very rude or there must be some kind of problem stopping you from answering my questions:
What age/condition is the printer?
Could the postage be lower?
Thanks

email 5:
Hi there. Sorry to see your printer did not sell; I was very interested but you seemed unwilling to answer my questions...
Would you accept £25 including postage? If so, I'd like to offer you the deal right away.
Regards

Can I just clarify that I had the age and condition of the printer in the listing (but I understand he was just confirming) and the postage for the (heavy) printer with extra cartridge etc and all it's packaging was £10 via courier. I don't think the postage is bad, I don't think even businesses offer cheaper.
I think he was very rude, especially as he sent all 5 messages within 24 hours.
Should I reply? Please help me compose a reply as I don't think given his form he will stop emailing until I reply, and it looks like he could get ruder.
Thanks.

just say its no longer for sale or it will be relisted or something?

I don't think he was rude, maybe a little in email 4. I think you could email him back, say you weren't online yesterday and answer his questions.

But only if you want to take £25 - if you don't, don't bother.

relist it.

stae in the listing the reason for costs. i have people offering to send their own courier for things as i use a timed serrvice due to school runs i have to say no. £10 is reasonable for courier. of course collection is welcome to keep costys down etc etc.
