Have fun.
I'm sure TPC does occasionally lower their prices on bikes that have been listed for a long time. I'm not surprised that they adhere to a "no haggle" pricing structure though. This is part of the business model, much like CARMAX and used cars. You're paying extra for the ease of the transaction and the "no haggle" aspect is part of it, just like the inspections, photos, buy back guarantee, etc.
