Seller: I could maybe go down a lower, but not much. This is a pretty good price already. 
Buyer: How did you get this brand new? Did you steal it? 
Seller: No I got it through my work, not stealing. 
Buyer: Are you willing to ship it, or will I have to pick it up?

SOLUTION: phone

PROBLEM: Seller: Are you interested in this vintage side table?
Buyer: Yes indeed
Seller: Do you have any questions? I can tell you that it has not been restored and the asking price is $135, but I am willing to negotiate.
Buyer: Before we talk price, why wouldn't I want this, Whats wrong with it?
Seller: I can't think of any reason why you wouldn't want this table. It has the expected wear and tear of it being perfectly vintage but other than that it's a beautiful table with smooth working drawers and a very sturdy base.
Buyer: Why haven't you bothered restoring it?
Seller: To keep it as vintage as possible, and for the buyer to restore it as they want, should they see fit.
Buyer: Well I really can't justify paying $135 for an old side table, I have a budget of $55, so I can do that if you deliver it.
Seller: That's quite the drop in price, especially for delivery. I think with delivery added I'll take $100 for it.
Buyer: I can do $80 and pick it up, meet you sort of in the middle there.
Seller: Well, I think we have a deal then. $100 it is, sir.
Buyer: No, $80.
Seller: That's right. $80. I'm sorry about that.
Buyer: Ok thanks, We'll do $80. 
Buyer: 
Seller:
