Hope you rebutted back and said that's what the property is worth - its only worth what someone is willing to pay.
You offered the correct amount, if the seller is not insulted you have offered too much!
Well I just got a reply from the EA, he said was I serious with my offer. He also said that I was belittling the market and the property I viewed and that I was taking the pi$$.
I said I was serious and my offer stood, he said there is no way he would deal with me and and not to be wasting his time on that property or any other properties he has on his books, he would welcome me viewing other properties but not to make ridiculous offers like that.
He said there was 10k off the original price and there was no way I would get a house for the price I offered.

Not about to name ans shame but the ball is in their court, I'm in no hurry to buy. I'll give it a couple of weeks and see what happens

Debtwish, very good advice. EA need to feel the pain.
If he comes back to you (and he probably will), revise down your offer explaining that your previous offer stood at the time but no longer.
Remember, when markets were rising, many EAs didn't think twice about using ghost bidders to drive buyers higher against themselves.
The boot is now on the other foot.
Ok Seriously, who actually lets an EA or anyone talk to them in that manner. I despair I really do.
I would be around at the Agents standing his table reading him the riot act for his ignorance.
I would also be going to the vendor and pointing out that their EA is adversely affecting the sale of their property through intimidation and foul language.
If the vendor stands up for the EA, screw it otherwise, tell the vendor your offer only stands if the EA is fired.
Next step letter and phone call to EAs boss if any.
I think EAs to some extent are using the thats too low - you'll never get a property for that price, but they can use your bid to get other people interested. In the meantime if they don't get an increased offer they will usually come back at some stage. If they do you should use that to your advantage and renegotiate down again.
I was thinking that alright.....if they get back to me!
