I'm not sure if you've ever been to a bike shop when they are having a sale. The bike shop I was at had some bikes listed for $999 on sale for $739. That's more than $200 off a bike and they're still making money. The guy selling me the bike doesn't lose that $200 difference. They are making higher profit ratio on a bike than a car dealership does on a car.
If you get treated differently if you have issues in the future because you bargained then that's an issue with the business not the price you paid.
Btw, I paid full price for the bike as it wasn't on sale. My guess is they made 30% profit from the $800 purchase.
