I am not that knowledgeable on a bike like that, but find it hard to believe that an LBS owner offered up that much. Unless he really wanted it and it was something special.
I'm skeptical the seller received an offer in that amount from the LBS. Nor do I find it likely that a reasonable person would turn down an offer of $3k for that bike. My guess is that the S is lying in an attempt to puff up the price of his bike.
Frankly the ad reminds me of some of the crazy ads you see on Amazon from time to time for uber expensive music gear. The comments on those ads are priceless,
