Absolutely anecdotal, but I've seen buyers bringing up comps go south real quick with sellers when it's one of the first points they're negotiating with.
Working it in after a little back/forth, even if it's shrugged off, seems to land a bit softer when a buyer tosses the comp at a seller.
The buyer also needs to deal with the "Well, buy it there, then." or similar dismissive statements without getting derailed or feeling personally insulted. This is rarely an end point unless you melt down or otherwise get aggressively defensive.
