question:
Seller: Hey so I have a great phone for sale, it's in excellent condition.
Buyer: Hi, I am interested in a phone, are they brand new or used?
Seller: It's brand new, I didn't need them. They're $650 each, this is a steal especially since it's $150 off.
Buyer: I am a student and would want to work on the price.. is that an option?
Seller: I don't know about that. Do you have a family member or friend who might want one, the price goes down in multiples.
Buyer: I could maybe get my sister in on a deal but it would have to be a great deal.
Seller: They would get knocked down to $600 each. I could also include two cases and glass screen protectors.
Buyer: Wow, still too high, i was thinking, 380 each.
Seller: I can't go that low, the lowest I could go is $575. That's only if you buy 2.
Buyer: I just think this is out of my reach, price wise. I could do 415 tops each.
Seller: No, you're going to have to come up to $525 flat and buy 4.
Buyer: ha, we are so far from each other. looks like a stalemate. good luck!

phone

question:
Seller: Hi how are you?
Buyer: Good and you?
Seller: Very well thanks! Are you interested in my offer? Any questions?
Buyer: I am! It sounds good but people don't sell vehicles unless something is wrong with them soooo.... what is it's dings, bumps, bruises, quirks?
Seller: Nope absolutely nothing wrong with it I am simply upgrading! You are welcome to schedule an appointment to get it checked or take it for a test drive.
Buyer: That would be perfect! Would you take $2500 for it?
Seller: No nothing near that low for a car this nice it only has 60000 miles on it and is in beautiful condition.
Buyer: It is almost 8 years old and only has 60000 miles??? Did you ever drive it? How about $3000
Seller: My commute is only 5 miles and no that is less tham half my offer.
Buyer: Alright then half of your offer $3500
Seller: No i;m afraid you will have to look elsewhere the lowest I'll go is 6000.
Buyer: At 8 years old the depreciation is 80% from it's original price as well as parts normally wear out between 8 to 10 years so although you may have a beautiful car it will begin to fall apart soon. $6000 is too much for an 8 year old car. I can go $3750

question:
Buyer: Hi!
Seller: Hi there. Are you interested in this house?
Buyer: Yes Very!
Seller: Sure do you have any questions or concerns?
Buyer: I wanted to know what makes this house special compared to the other ones on this street. There is an open house down the road that I looked at that was very similar to this house.
Seller: This house is 3 bedroom and is in Fremont. It has a 2 car garage which is awesome I think and kitchen contains granite counters, and cabinets are modern. There is a yard also, and its location is the best that beats everything. It is near to schools, parks, restaurants, and shopping. I can very positively tell you that you can't go wrong with this purchase!
Buyer: Ok cool! What is the lowest you will go in price?
Seller: The listing is 2650. I can give it to you for $2200
Buyer: $2150 and you have a deal!
Seller: $2200 is the last I can give you. I have a waiting list for people who are already willing to get it! That's what I can give you. Take it or leave it.
Buyer: You are one tough cookie!
Seller: Well we both need to be happy :)
Seller:
Buyer: Sounds good I'll take it!
