Are you saying he should waste the LBS's time before buying the same bike on
eBay?

No, obviously he should just order blindly off Ebay without taking
into account sizing, style, and manufacturing quality.

The bike will undoubtedly need accessories and regular service.
There's plenty of ways for the LBS to make back it's money for the
time "wasted" letting someone sit on a bike.

Of course if you want to buy the 1st bike you like without shopping
around, that's your perogative.
