I think the shittiness isn't in trying to negotiate down - it's the pulling out, then coming back in with a lowball offer.
It sounds very much like they're playing a game - hoping @aggi would panic when they pulled out, and then be desperate enough to accept this offer to stop his purchase falling through.
That's an assumption, but it's hard not to imagine them (or their EAs) as smug twats rubbing their hands together.
If they'd just got in touch with concerns and tried to do it in a more transparent way it wouldn't seem the same.
