rezaenglishDoes it mean "Really?"?

Yes, I suppose you could say it means "Really?"

It implies "Is it (really) inexpensive?"

At a furniture store

--------------------

Man: Oh, I like this chair. Oh, very nice.
Seller: But that chair doesn't cost much;
I mean that's an inexpensive chair.
Man: Is it? How much does it cost? What is the price?
Seller: There is the price tag.
Man: Oh, the price tag.

--------------------

What does "Is it?" mean? <<< Is it an inexpensive chair

Does it mean "Really?"? <<<< Yes. The speaker expresses slight surprise.

Now here is a more natural dialogue.

Man: Oh, I like this chair. Oh, very nice.
Seller: It's a good price. I mean it's a good quality chair.
Man: Is it? How much is it, please?
Seller: It's only $200. But today is your lucky day, because today it's on sale for only $150.
