Buyer: Hi! I saw your post about the apartment? 
Seller: Hello, yes. The rent is $2698 monthly with all the included amenities.
Buyer: I have to admit, that stretches my budget to a point of discomfort. I'm not sold on the location. I'll have a bit of a commute. 
Seller: If it helps a bit, the apartment would be fully furnished. It really is a great deal especially for the location you will be in.
Buyer: I don't doubt it. Any chance you'd like to make my day and let me in for 1500? 
Seller: That is incredibly low and I have other people who are interested. The best offer I could give you would be $2450.
Buyer: I know, that was an insult. Forgive me. Tell me a little more about it. . . make me fall in love, and I could do 2200?
Seller: That is not a problem. Well firstly, it is a quiet location. You could be downtown in about 5 minutes just walking. I didn't ask if you have pets. You would have a private yard for them to roam around in. We have a fitness center so you can keep up with your fitness goals. Our entire property was also recently renovated.
Buyer: You're an excellent salesperson. 2200?
Seller: I appreciate that. I can do $2375.
Buyer: Split the difference? 2287.50? We can round to 2287. ;)
Seller: $2300 and that is the lowest I can accept. Sound good?
Buyer: Sounds good.
