PROBLEM: Buyer: HI is this still available? Why are you selling it so soon?
Seller: Brand new, not even opened in the box, received as a present for christmas, this item retails at 2500.  I already have several TVs, but I don't even know where my friends bought this for me, and it's rude to ask them if they know I'm going to return it.
Buyer: Yes I can understand that. Does it need any additional equipment to connect the smart tv apps?
Seller: Everything is included.  It comes with one connect box, stand, smart touch remote, table top stand, user's manual and a power choard
Buyer: Geat, would you possibly take $1500 if Ic an come now to pickup? My tv just went out and I can't afford one from a store and I don't want to miss the next episode of Big brother when it airs
Seller: I'd really like to get 2100 at the lowest.
Buyer: How about middle road would you do? 1900
Seller: deal

PROBLEM: Buyer: Hi
Seller: Hello! Are you interested in the couches?
Buyer: Yes I am, just a few questions, is this a non smoking home?
Seller: Yes, it is. I bought these brand new and have made sure to keep them in a smoke-free environment.
Buyer: And how long did you have them?
Seller: I've had them for just a few years. I can assure you completely that they are in great condition.
Buyer: well The price is s lightly high for used couches, would you come down to $240 if I ALSO PICKED THEM UP?
Seller: I don't think I can go that low. I can give you both for $300 and I'll deliver them myself for no extra charge. Sound fair?
Buyer: $275??
Seller: Actually, that's fine. Again, I'll deliver them to you myself. Don't worry about picking them up.
