Buyer: Hey, I'm interested in this item but I'm on a budget. Is your list price your final offer?
Seller: This bike is a great deal as you can see from the description.  I feel as though $800 is a reasonable asking price considering the high end components.
Buyer: The frame looks great, but I'm concerned about maintenance costs and more fragile components.
Seller: Would you be interested if I delivered it to you for free and dropped the price to $775?
Buyer: Free delivery is a perk to me, but I think the parts you've listed are only worth about $500.
Seller: That is a very big discount.  I will add free delivery, maintenance for three months and a final price of $750.
Buyer: That's not a very big price drop. What about $600?
Seller: The lowest I will go is $700 and no other perks.
Buyer: That's just too high for me. Are you sure?
Seller: $700 is more than fair.
Buyer: Can you tell me anything more about the bike that will convince me of that? All I see is a 2009 aluminum frame, the crankset, and the handlebars and stem. 
Seller: It has Shimano Devore XT crankset, Ritchie's Comp handlebars and stem, Avid Juicy 7 Hydrolic Disc Brakes.  These are all high end components.
Buyer: Ah, I didn't know about the brakes! That makes a big difference for me. I'm willing to pay $650, in cash if you'd prefer, and pick it up myself.
Seller: $690 and it is yours.
Buyer: Are you willing to go just a bit lower, perhaps $675?
Seller: Ok, it's a deal at $675!
Buyer: I agree! But for some reason, I can't submit the offer from my end. Are you able to do so?
Seller: Yup, I'm submitting right now.
Buyer: I figured it out.
