It's obviously not a good deal, but then again it never is when you buy potions directly. At this point, the cloners and money sellers can beat that price easily (not that I recommend going to them).

And while I'd hate to play devil's advocate, a guild mate of mine actually emailed Applibot to let them know about the market situation, and said that they were aware of it, which I would think they should be. As for doing something about the cloned potions, they've actually done a lot more than you realize. They've suspended countless accounts related to cloners, and have just released the second clone patch since the game's release (which based on what others have said appears to be working for now). And while it's easy to say that they should just get rid of all the cloned potions circulating, the fact is like 99% of potions are cloned, so just making them magically disappear would mean that everyone is basically broke all of a sudden.

It's easy to criticize and say they're doing nothing, but the fact is they are in a difficult situation, even if it's due to their own incompetence. The fact that people are always trying to find loopholes to cheat the game only makes things worse rather than better.
