PROBLEM: Buyer: Hello, I was interesting in your TV stand. I was wondering it there is any damage or markings from use?
Seller: It has been lightly used, but there is no significant damage to the item.
Buyer: Is it a smoke and/or pet free home?
Seller: Yes, we live in a small apartment and we aren't aloud to have pets or smoke indoors.
Buyer: Would you be willing to do 55$ and I can pick it up today?
Seller: No, I don't think I can sell it for less than $100.
Buyer: I can swing 62, I did find it online for a bit less but its a longer drive for me to get that one.
Seller: The best I can do is $80 and a case of beer.
Buyer: 70$ and a 12 pack?

SOLUTION: furniture

PROBLEM: Seller: Hi are you interested in the item?
Buyer: I am very much interested, but the price seems a bit steep for me
Seller: Ok, it's pretty much market value for this item in this condition, but we can talk about it.
Buyer: My kid would enjoy riding it, but I don't see it having that much value over a bike. What if the price was cut in half? I can even pick it up myself.
Seller: Look, half would mean me losing a lot of money. But I'm looking to get rid of this soon. I can let it go for an even $200 if you can pick it up by Monday.
Buyer: That's understandable. I can understand your position. $200 wouldn't be bad. I can definitely do that.

PROBLEM: Buyer: Hello
Seller: Hi how are you?
Buyer: Good. I am in the market for a new bike. Is this one in good shape?
Seller: This one is in fantastic shape! It's got some great options too. It has a step thu frame, cantilever brakes and a shimano drivetrain.
Buyer: That sounds awesome. How much do you want for it?
Seller: I'm asking $350 for it, but I'm willing to negotiate, especially for cash.
Buyer: Would you be willing to lower the price down to 250? I will pick it up myself.
Seller: Sorry, 250 is too low. I'll deliver it myself for $300, and we have a deal.
Buyer: That sounds good to me. Nice doing business with you.
