PROBLEM: Buyer: Hello
Seller: hello
Buyer: I saw your listing for the flip phone, and was interested in buying it from you. How much has it been used so far?
Seller: It has been previously used for only 3 weeks
Buyer: That is a reasonable amount of time, do you happen to have a headset or any devices for hands free capabilities to pair with it?
Seller: It's like new, the use on the phone was minimal. The phone is equipped with push to talk (hands free) and accessories with the manual for the phone
Buyer: That sounds good, I'm willing to pay $30 for it, accessories included. Does this sound reasonable for you?
Seller: Accessories are included. Could you do $35? It's listed for $39 currently.
Buyer: I didn't want to pay too much for a new phone, so I was hoping $30 would be good for you. Would an extra $2 be alright with you?
Seller: Sure, $32 is good with me.
Buyer: Thank you very much!

PROBLEM: Seller: Hi, any questions about the listing?
Buyer: Yes, how old is the lamp?
Seller: I received it as a gift recently. It's practically new, as stated in the advert.
Buyer: What is your asking price?
Seller: $80 is a price that is fair and reasonable as I paid quite a bit more for this ruffled lamp. It's stylish, functional and a great deal
Buyer: I would be interested at a slightly lower price. I would be happy to come and pick up this item from a place most convenient for you for a small discount of 7 dollars.
Seller: I can drop 5 dollars, not a whole 7. I think if I sit on this longer I could probably get my full asking price so if you wanna do a 5 dollar discount we can, otherwise, no.
Buyer: That's a hard bargain. So are you saying you're willing to do a price of $75 on the condition I come to you to pick it up?
Seller: Exactly. Is $75 good?
Buyer: Hm, well I was going to use that extra 2 dollars to buy my wife a very well deserved 10 year anniversary gift. However I think this lamp will make us both happier. I can't let it go. You have a deal!

PROBLEM: Buyer: I see you have a Jaguar for sale. What are some of the details about this car and what amount are you looking for?
Seller: I am seeking $3500 for this great car. It's from 1998, but it has tons of modern amenities: automatic transmission, power windows, locks and seats, a sun roof, air conditioning and leather seats. Plus it passed its emissions test this year.
Buyer: Considering the age of the car, I would be willing to pay $3150.
Seller: Would you be willing to pay a little more? It's in excellent condition. Would 3300 suit you?
Buyer: That would work.
