The OP did not even get the chance to beat the other guy to it. The sale had not started yet and the LBS put the bike away for the other guy ahead of the sale so he could cheat anyone else from going in at the start of the sale to get the bike at the sale price.
LBS was stupid for admitting the did such a thing.
