question:
Seller: Hello! Were you interested in the phone I posted?
Buyer: Hi. I was looking at your phone. Brand new, huh?
Seller: It is! I had to buy a replacement for my phone and I got the wrong one for my carrier. I have Verizon and it won't work, my mistake, your gain. I paid $100 for this one.
Buyer: It seems like it might be an older model. Is there any warranty that comes with it?
Seller: There was no warranty when I purchased, sorry. It looks like a great phone though. I had one similar and loved it.
Buyer: I don't know. That phone has reports of a lot of glitches. You might have a hard time unloading it. Would you take 40?
Seller: I could come down to $60. I bought it because it had great reviews! Hadn't heard about the glitches though.
Buyer: And only a 2 MP camera, can you throw in a phone cover or something and I will do $60.
Seller: I don't have a cover, but I can throw in a car charger and screen protector.
Buyer: sold!!

question:
Seller: Hi there
Buyer: hi is the bike in good shape? Do the gears work well?
Seller: Yes the gears are great. It's a wonderful bike, but I'll admit it could use a little TLC. I have a newer bike that I've been riding and neglected this guy.
Buyer: Is the seat in good shape? What does it need as far as TLC?
Seller: The seat is good and the wellgo pedals have straps.
Buyer: Nice, I was wondering if you would be able to take $75 cash today if I came and picked it up now?
Seller: I was really hoping to get a little more out of it since it was my dad's bike. I'll replace the chain for you if you can come up to $100
Buyer: I appreciate sentiment, ok I'll go with the $100 but could I come in the morning instead?
Seller: SOunds great. See you then.
