Front porch support columns...approximate cost

[Charlotte Edwards]

We've put in an offer on a home and the front porch supports are missing. THe seller won't replace them but offered $200. Is this reasonable? It seems there are 4-5 supports that need replaced. A friend estimates they're about $50/each to do. Anyone have experience with this and the costs?

I'm thinking we'll just do the bare minimum; nothing fancy to make them look pretty.
