PROBLEM: Buyer: Hi There! I would like to buy the phone, but I only have $300. I do have some other electronics that I could trade with the cash to sweeten the deal. Are you interested?
Seller: No, I can't take any trades.
Buyer: Are you willing to come down on the price at all? What is you best price?
Seller: My best price is firm at $650. The product is brand new, still in the box, and is the most popular variant.
Buyer: I understand. I think I can borrow some money. Can I pay $400?
Seller: No, the price is $650.
Buyer: Is anybody else trying to buy this phone? You have a potential buyer, but you won't negotiate a fair price. I can go to the store and pay $650. I'm looking for a deal. $500 is my final offer. That is a fair price.
Seller: You won't find it in the store, not this color.
Buyer: The color is a minor detail. I always keep expensive phones in a case. You can buy any color case, so the color isn't going to make me pay $150 more than a fair price. $500 Deal?
Buyer:
Seller: No deal.

SOLUTION: phone
