Sounds like the OP doesn't get out much in this hobby, this is the kind of place I like to visit also. And after all that you STILL made them an offer and walked away over $100? Seems like your post is just revenge for them not making a deal with you?
Some of the fancier shops I've visited are the most expensive (mostly with crazy pricing) also. Sorry you had a bad experience, but your post just seems a little over the top for what happened.
