PROBLEM: Seller: Hi, are you seriously interested in purchasing my bmw?
Buyer: Yes. It looks like a great car. I actually have a 2002 BMW X5 SUV that has all wheel drive. I would be willing to trade you that plus $5000 cash. This way you get a great running truck that can handle the mountains and some cash in your pocket. Deal?
Seller: It sounds good but what's the condition of the suv?
Buyer: The SUV is in great condition. I had new tires put on last winter. I have a Carfax report so you can see that it hasn't had accidents. The main reason I want to get rid of it is because I want better gas mileage with a car rather than an SUV. So do we have a deal for $5000?
Seller: Make it 5900 + the suv and we've got a deal.
Buyer: Deal! Thanks!

PROBLEM: Buyer: I am interested in the apartmnet
Seller: It is still available and quite beautiful. What questions do you have?
Buyer: None really, i have seen it before when a friend lived there. I know for a fact that the rent advertised is much higher than what he pays
Seller: Well this is one of the upgraded units with carpeting and AC. The rent is quite fair. Can I ask what he pays?
Buyer: He has an upgraded unit and pays 1200. I understand rent has gone up in the past 2 years, so i am willing to pay 1350
Seller: I think your friend might be lying about his rent.
Buyer: I dont think so, we are very close.
Seller: Feel free to make me an offer.
Buyer: 1400 and i will work as super for the whole place
Seller: As long as you are willing to clean the dog crap off the lawn then that will work.
Seller:
Buyer: Done deal, im into that
