Seller: Hi, I'd like to sell this piece of equipment for $40
Buyer: Hi, was this painted black or was it origianlly black?
Seller: Painted black
Buyer: And I can see there are a few scratches on this side, how about hte other side and the top?
Seller: Everything else is good to go
Buyer: Ok. I was wondering if you would accept $24 for it
Seller: Whoa, that's way too low. I can go down to $30
Buyer: I don't know those scratches look pretty big, so I am going to have to repaint it and that's time and money.
Seller: Submit an offer and I'll accept or reject
Buyer: Well I would like to know if you will come down to $24?
Seller: Submit an offer and I'll either accept or reject, but choose wisely otherwise we both lose out on real money
Buyer: so why not work out an offer here and now to ensure we are both paid? 
Seller: Because time is of the essence
Buyer: Agreed. So you agree to $24?
Seller: Offer submitted - accept or reject
