Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: Seller: I see you are interested in my sofa. Any questions?
Buyer: Is it clean?
Seller: Yes it is! I have been the only owner and it has been in my den for several years so it did not get as much use as my main couch.
Buyer: Any pet hairs on it or smoker smells?
Seller: I am a non smoker, so there are no smoker smells. It is a bit faded and there are some small scratches from my cat but no pet hairs on it. I've also recently used a good leather cleaner on it so it is quite shiny.
Buyer: Would it fit in my Toyota backseat or should I bring my SUV?
Seller: It's pretty wide so I would suggest utilizing the SUV.
Buyer: ok, I will offfer you $38 since you don;t deliver and I would have to drive to go get it. Does $38 sound good?
Seller: It's in pretty good condition. I'd be willing to take 40.
Buyer: OK, sounds fair. $40 it is than. I will pick it up in 20 minutes.
Seller: Great! See you then.
