PROBLEM: Buyer: when did you purchase this
Seller: I have only had the phone for about 5 months. Still in flawless shaped. No screen cracks, no wear on the phone. Been in a case the entire time I have owned it.
Buyer: ok..thinking this is good how about a discount on it of 25%
Seller: If you come pick up the phone today, cash in hand, I will do 250. That is as low as I can go on it.
Buyer: i could come up to 235  i think that fair  and i will pick it up,,cash
Seller: Nah, I gave over 300 for it 5 months ago. I need to get 250 from it, that is literally my bottom dollar.
Buyer: 240..i have to spend money for gas to pick it up
Seller: Ok, just to get it done, thats a deal.

Seller: I am very excited to sell this piece!
Buyer: It is very nice! Does it have laundry?
Buyer: It is very nice! Does it have laundry?
Seller: No it does not! But there is a great laundry mat down the road!
Buyer: Hmm I was really looking into having an in-unit laundry but thank you for the information.  How many cars can I include in the parking?
Buyer: Hmm I was really looking into having an in-unit laundry but thank you for the information.  How many cars can I include in the parking?
Seller: There is parking available but that depends on how much you are willing to pay!
Buyer: Ok great. I would like to make an offer. How does $1600 sound?

SOLUTION: housing

PROBLEM: Seller: Hello, how are you today? 
Buyer: I'm good, and I am interested in purchasing your bicycle. 
Seller: Wonderful. It is a really fantastic bike, I just don't ride it enough. It deserves to go to a home where it can be appreciated fully. 
Buyer: Oh ok. What kind of condition is it in?
Seller: It is in like new condition. I bought it and rode it less than 20 miles total. 
Buyer: That's good. How long have you had it?
Seller: I have owned it for about a year. I bought it brand new. Thought I would be able to ride it more. 
Buyer: Oh ok. I love the bike but do you think we can go a little lower on the price?
Seller: It does have a lot of aftermarket extras. I could go a little lower, but not too much. What are you thinking? 
Buyer: What about 900
Seller: 900 is faaaaarrrrr below market value. I could not go that low. The only way I can negotiate is if I knew about your rental history and willingness to sign a 2 year lease. Anything past 2 years, I am leary of. 
Buyer: Ok how about 1050?
Seller: And I thoroughly confused you! I am so sorry! how about we split the difference and go with 1,000? I will even meet you in a central location and that works for both of us. 
Buyer: That sounds good, thanks!
Buyer: 
Seller:
