PROBLEM: Buyer: Hello! I am interested in your oscilloscope.
Seller: Hello, you have great taste, mine is in excellent condition.
Buyer: I am interested, but $490 is a little too high for me. Considering there is a newer model out on the market, would you take $420 for it?
Seller: well, mine does include a 17" monitor, 2 probes and all of the power cords, I could do $475
Buyer: The highest I can go is $455. I think 100 Mega samples per second is a little low compared to the other models I have been looking at. Would you take $455? I will even come pick it up.
Seller: I would go to $460 and would be happy to deliver it to you if you're in the Bay Area
Buyer: Deal

PROBLEM: Buyer: Hey are you still selling the LG? 
Seller: I sure am
Buyer: Great. Does it have a good ESN? And what kind of condition is it in?
Seller: yes it does I can give it to you before you purchase so you can look it up or we can meet at the phone store and verify, your choice.  I actually only used it for a month while I was waiting to be able to get a new phone on my contract so it is brand new.  It is in a new real tree otter box that I will include as well.
Buyer: The only thing is that the price is a little too high. That's close to the price when new. How about 80?
Seller: Well this phone is selling for 180 new, the otter box is new and was 60 all of the movies cost about another 40 so I will tell you what, I can come down to $140 if you can get it today.
Buyer: I'm not really interested in the movies but I would like the otter box case. How about we meet the middle, 120 with the otter box, and I'll come to pick it up. 
Seller: Ok I can do 120 as long as you can come today.

SOLUTION: phone

PROBLEM: Buyer: Hello
Seller: Good morning
Buyer: Good morning! I saw your listing for the Beach Cruiser, and wanted to make sure I got in contact with you before it was gone. I see it is in perfect riding condition, have you rode it yourself personally?
Seller: Yes! I ride it all the time. Its been a great bike. Just got a new one or I would surely keep it.
Buyer: Excellent, that is reassuring. To be honest though, the price is a little high for me, is there any way we could negotiate a lower deal? Possibly in the $50 - $60 range?
Seller: I'm certainly willing to negotiate. How would 65 sound? It is a high quality bike.
Buyer: $65 sounds like a good deal, I would be willing to pick it up myself to save you the shipping hassle if you wouldn't mind going down to $60, otherwise I think we have a deal.
Seller: 
Buyer: Thank you very much!
Buyer:
