Buyer: Whoa ! You have 17 years of experience?
Seller: Yes, I have been doing this a long time. I really take great pride in my craftsmanship when making a bike.
Buyer: Nice ! It's not for me it's for my boyfriend.
Seller: He will really like it, it is a very stylish bike with great features and a sturdy frame.
Buyer: I can see, I like it cause it's his size. He's so small, I'm 6'5" and he's 5'5" LOL
Seller: It will fit him well, does he add any special equipment to the bike?
Buyer: I. Have. No. Idea. But, I do know he like Schwinn stuff.
Seller: Perfect, the bike is priced at $350; are you in the local area?
Buyer: Yeah, I was going to pick it up and surprise him. So you need to do everything to it that it needs before I give it to him, I'll give you extra!
Seller: I have already tuned the bike to be in ready-to-ride condition. There is no reason to pay any extra. $350 is fine, but I do not have a credit card machine so it would need to be cash or money order.
Buyer: What, I'm gay, I roll in cash honey. Well, I wanted to pay $175 cause that is what I could just get some bike for, but you do have skills and if you make sure it's super clean, I'll pay you more. Can you polish it up and oil it, or whatever it is you do to bikes.
Seller: This is a bike that will make him very happy. No reason to pay any extra just the $350. I will polish it very nice and all the gears are completely oiled with a 3 in 1 oil. This will ensure no corrision on the chain and the spokes. It also ensures the chain stays completely linked to the drive spoke.
Buyer: Riiiiight... that does not mean anything to me, honey your wasting your time with all that shop talk. Like I said, I was going to pay $175 for another bike but I'm willing to pay more for your time so what is it like an hour to tune it up real clean and stuff? How about $75 per hour. I'll give you $175 plus another $75, like $275?
Seller: $275 works for me.
Buyer: Grat!
