PROBLEM: Buyer: Hi, so I have a cellphone and could really use that leather holster. Can you tell me about it?
Seller: Sure, it is a stylish textured leather belt holster that is big enough to hold the following phone types: iPhone, Samsun g, HTC and many more like those. It has a felt lined interior and a solid metal clip and magnetic latch. It is of premium quality soft leather.
Buyer: Is there anything wrong with it?
Seller: No there is nothing wrong with it. It's been gently used.
Buyer: It has been used? That changes things a bit. I'll need you to come down to $10.
Seller: It's almost brand new, It's only been used a few times as I decided to just carry my phone in my purse. I can let you have it for $15. That's 50% off the asking price and I feel that I am meeting you half-way in the pricing. What do you think?
Buyer: No, you can meet me halfway at $12 and we have a deal. You'll also have to drop it off, as I live 10 miles away and don't want to drive.
Seller: Twelve dollars is not actually half-way that's only two dollars more than your $10 price. I will be willing to go as far as $13, I can understand about dropping it off if you didn't drive but not wanting to drive is a different story. I cannot drop it off because I do not drive. But I would be willing to ship it to you for the $13.
Buyer: No shipping, I'll pick it up. $13 it is, thanks.

Seller: YES! Arctic cold
Buyer: Thanks. I know the car is really old and probably has a lot of miles on it, do you think you could consider $1700?

Buyer: It sounds good, but I can't afford that high. What about $1800?
Seller: Well we are $1000.00 apart in price, I am more then willing to split the difference with you. How about $2300. And I will insure you got a full tank of gas.
Buyer: I can't afford that since my house payment is due and I have to make sure I have a place to live. $1900 is the highest I can go.
Seller: I would be more then willing to allow you to make a down payment on the car and finish paying it off in 30 days. I will give you a receipt for your down payment. The car will stayed in a garaged state until you pay it off. .
