PROBLEM: Seller: Hello
Buyer: Hi, I'm interested in your bike
Seller: I'm glad to hear that. It's a vintage 1960 Japanese made touring bike. This is a collector's type of bike but still in good shape if one were to be interested in riding it.
Buyer: It's just what I've been looking for.  I see it has a little surface rust, but other than that everything works ok?
Seller: Yep, it's actually in good shape for how old it is. I'm asking for a price of $180
Buyer: Since I'd like to repair the surface rust, would you be willing to come down to say $136?
Seller: Hmm, that's a lot lower than what I was looking to get. I'll throw in a bike pump and a helmet for $180!
Buyer: That's just a little too high for me. I already have a helmet.  Could you do $145 and I'll pick it up myself today..
Seller: $155 and you got yourself a deal.
Buyer: Can we split the difference and meet at $150. I'll even come before lunch.
Seller: Cash?
Buyer: Yes
Seller: Deal!
Seller: 
Buyer: Awesome, Thanks!

PROBLEM: Buyer: I'm very interested in renting this location. 
Seller: It is a great location, and the unit is spacious and beautiful! 4 Bedroom, 2 bath
Buyer: Sounds nice, my wife has one on the way. How are the schools there? It's a bit too far from work...
Seller: There is easy access to FWY 880 and Dumbarton Bridge - 
Buyer: I heard a terrorist attack happened a few blocks away from there. 
Seller: This is a quiet community normally. And yes, there was an incident recently. However, our mayor has encouraged gun ownership by legal residents, and has promised not to prosecute any citizens who take out bad guys as needed, so we feel this is a great place to live.
Buyer: Personally, I'd like to live near work, but the wife you know... I got a place lined up for 2,000 a month, so there's a very wide gap here between what you are asking.
Seller: Do you believe in the right to self-defence? This is a great perk to living in the community. I can work with you on price some.
Buyer: Sounds really great, but with the extra commute time, I think we may be too far apart. But... need to keep the wife happy. How about $2200?
Seller: If you promise to own, and learn how to shoot, if necessary, at least one handgun and one semi-auto rifle, I will take 2200.
Buyer: Great! Make that offer :)

PROBLEM: Seller: Hi, any questions about the listing?
Buyer: Yes, how old is the lamp?
Seller: I received it as a gift recently. It's practically new, as stated in the advert.
Buyer: What is your asking price?
Seller: $80 is a price that is fair and reasonable as I paid quite a bit more for this ruffled lamp. It's stylish, functional and a great deal
Buyer: I would be interested at a slightly lower price. I would be happy to come and pick up this item from a place most convenient for you for a small discount of 7 dollars.
Seller: I can drop 5 dollars, not a whole 7. I think if I sit on this longer I could probably get my full asking price so if you wanna do a 5 dollar discount we can, otherwise, no.
Buyer: That's a hard bargain. So are you saying you're willing to do a price of $75 on the condition I come to you to pick it up?
Seller: Exactly. Is $75 good?
Buyer: Hm, well I was going to use that extra 2 dollars to buy my wife a very well deserved 10 year anniversary gift. However I think this lamp will make us both happier. I can't let it go. You have a deal!
