    If you don't want to buy the said bike at said price then don't, but calling the wambulance is a bit ott.
    Had a guy once tell me a story about a car he was selling.

    Put it up for* a bit over what he was after and he had about 5 people lowball him.

    After a couple months he dropped it to what he was actually after and someone came around, inspected, and bought it at that advertised price without haggling as they felt it was a fair price.

    That little anecdote has always stuck with me.

    Prolly because it makes little to no sense.

    Do you mean he asked for a little bit more than he really wanted, and got lowballed. Then when he dropped to what he actually wanted, it sold for that, no questions?
