Seller: do you care to make an offer?
Buyer: The place sounds nice, but may be a little more than I can afford
Seller: well how much can you soend?
Buyer: I was looking for something in the 1500-1600 range
Seller: That is really unreasonable considering all the immenities and other going rates, you would need to come up to at least 3000
Buyer: I have seen some 2 bedrooms for that price, which I could split the cost with a roommate, so even with amenities, this may be out of my range
Seller: it may be then... the absolute lowest i will go is 2700. that is my final offer.
Buyer: Ok, I think the most I could spend on this is 2000 - we are a ways apart
Seller: ya that is far too low like i said 2700
Buyer: Ok, thanks for your consideration. I will have to keep looking for now.
Seller: good luck
Answer: housing

Seller: Ah yes, my mistake, I rounded by 17 dollars. Either way the price remains.
