Seller: Hi!
Buyer: Hi! I was interested in the cottage but it seems quite high compared to other dwellings in the area. Is there something other than the hardwood floors that justify the cost?
Seller: Definitely! The cottage is in a phenomenal area, and is supposedly haunted by a rich ghost! 
Buyer: Hm. I prefer to live alone. Since i'll be locked into a year lease with no warranty, i think $1750 would be a more realistic lease.
Seller: Ok, I just wanted to let you know that the ghost is very friendly and leaves a gold coin on the porch every morning. This can become very profitable over the years. For this reason I would have to increase the price.
Buyer: Interesting. I am lacking gold in my portfolio. $1950 seem more reasonable?
Seller: Absolutely not, you will end up earning much more money from this house than you will be paying! $2450 is the lowest I will go!
Buyer: If you could go $2375 i can add a $1000 security deposit and sign the lease today!
Seller: Sounds like a plan! I actually offered another one of my clients a 1000 dollar security deposit on another house that I sold today!
