PROBLEM: Seller: If you are interested in the iPhone, I have to let you know that it is in used condition. Just a few scrapes and scratches, but well worth the asking price.
Buyer: I am interested in the phone, but it does seem like it may be a little costly to fix. I'm not sure how to go about fixing the charge port. Also the camera issue is a bit of an issue as well.
Seller: Yeah, it's not the greatest if you are looking for new and shiny. But, it's still an iphone7, I'm sure there are plenty of people who can help you with those issues. If you throw in some old furniture or a TV you have lying in your garage, I'll let it go for $120
Buyer: I was planning on getting it as a starter phone for my daughter, so I definitely don't need perfect. I just know she will be disappointed with the camera. I'd be willing to come pick it up now for $100. I don't really have anything to barter with. I just really need a phone for my daughter as soon as possible.
Seller: How old is your daughter?
Buyer: 15. About to start driving so she needs a phone. I was hoping to get her a new phone for Christmas.
Seller: Ok. If you can pay cash and come get it, $100 it is. Merry Christmas
Buyer: Awesome! Thank you.

PROBLEM: Buyer: Hello
Seller: hello. are you interested in this car? do you have the budget to be interested in this car? I have had a bunch of low ballers today
Buyer: Yes I am. Is it in good condition?
Seller: it is in good conditions. no issues and only had 42,000 miles on it
Buyer: I would like to come by and see it today. Is that possible?
Seller: yes, that is possible!
Buyer: Cool. Would you be willing to lower the price?
Seller: I cant lower the price because it is leased through hayward toyota and this is the balance that needs to be paid off. The good news is that once it is transferred to you, you can just make payments every month and dont need to have all of the money at one time
Buyer: That sounds alright to me. How about 20000 then?
Seller: i can knock 900 off but, no more than that. 21,000 even okay?
Buyer: That is fine

SOLUTION: car

PROBLEM: Seller: Hi, this is a popular model, so well worth it for parts.
Buyer: It's an older model, I could probably fix it up and use it if I got it for the right price, how about $10?
Seller: That's too low for me. You could easily get over $100 if you parted it out.
Buyer: I looked on ebay, and there are just so many of them that they aren't selling for much. How about $15?
Seller: The fact there are so many is really a good thing. It creates demand for the parts. I could go $35, plus deliver it.
Buyer: That's reasonable, I'll pay $35 so long as you deliver.
