PROBLEM: Buyer: Hello I am really interested in this product
Seller: That's great. I'm interested in selling it to you.
Buyer: How old is it? 
Seller: The iphone 5 was first released in 2012, but I guess I don't remember when I bought it? It's almost like I would have remembered if I had thought to write it down in the product description. Oh well.
Buyer: Thank you for the information. However, the price is too high for me. can we work on it?
Seller: Yes, I suppose we can negotiate. Let's negotiate, that's what I always say.
Buyer: I can pay about $82 for it
Seller: Well, that's a pretty attractive offer. Now we just need to decide where to do the deal. Would you like to meet up in a Tmobile store or would you rather meet up at a gas station?
Buyer: Gas station works really well for me. Thanks for the options. When can we do that?
Seller: Well, I always think it's best to wait until it's really dark and spooky to meet up at a gas station, maybe we can meet up at midnight, exchange the phone and just see where the night takes us from there. Maybe get some slurpees from the gas station?
Buyer: Okay I think we're done with the deal and will meet up tomorrow then! Thanks
Buyer: 
Seller: Great, looking forward to meeting you in a gas station.

SOLUTION: phone

PROBLEM: Seller: Hello.
Buyer: Yes, hello, are these two pieces of furniture in good condition?
Seller: I would say they are in excellent condition. The covers on the cushions shrunk after we put them in the wash, but other than that there is no wear and tear on the furniture. 
Buyer: What sort of fabric is on the rest of the chair?
Seller: The arms and support are made out of seagrass.
Buyer: Okay, well, I suppose I could get some fabric and sew some new seat covers. In light of the work I'd have to put in, I'd be willing to go as high as $500.
Seller: I'm sorry. I cannot go that low. I need to make at least $1150 off of these items.
Buyer: I have to provide pickup, and make the covers, there's no way I could go anywhere near that high. I could see $550, that's definitely what I'd like to pay.
Seller: I could make by with 800$ but I can't get rid of them with that low of a price. I paid way too much for these pieces and I would experience substantial loss.
Buyer: Well, at $800 I'd need some other perks to even consider it.
Seller: What do you have in mind?
Buyer: Well, what can you offer me?
Seller: I can offer you a computer desk to go with it. It's not in great condition but It's wide and has a tower cabinet.
Buyer: Okay, I guess $800 is the price.
Buyer: 
Seller: Thank you. 
Seller: 


SOLUTION: furniture

PROBLEM: Buyer: I'd be happy to take this off your hands for $2000.
Seller: That can't be a serious offer. This is a modified blackbird and you're not going to find one like this for less than 3500
Buyer: $2200 then, it's is good, but there are other similar offers. I can pick it up from you and everything and save you the trip and worry.
Seller: That price is ridiculous. I can go to 3400 serious offers only please
Buyer: You are only dropping it $50, that's not helping me out at all. $2400, but that's all I can do.
Seller: You are starting from such a low point that I don't know if I can help you at all. I'll work with you more if you make a serious offer.
Buyer: Well then, tell me more about it. Make it worth more to me.
Seller:
