PROBLEM: Seller: Hey, you're interested in the bike?
Buyer: I am. My husband an I have been trying to get a tandem for awhile now. We sold our last one when we had kids, now that they are older, we can get back into it. How is the condition? Are you the original owner? Is it road ready?
Seller: Yeah, this is a spare we kept in a storage unit, and we haven't been on the road in a while. It's definitely road ready.
Buyer: We know our tandem bikes and comps in the area put this one around $135. Would you take that if I picked it up?
Seller: Oh wow you two have shopped around? Really want it then, 135 is fair. Let's do it.

PROBLEM: Buyer: Hello.
Seller: Hello
Buyer: You've got a good bike, but I could honestly get a new one for less, if I went for a different brand, and just as good.
Seller: Okay
Buyer: I can do 800 without breaking my budget.
Seller: $1250 is the lowest I can go
Buyer: What if I pick it up?
Seller: Sure you can pick it up but I need $1250 minimum because I need no lower than that I need to take a trip to Toronto to see my dying friend on his last days. if you give me $800, I won't have enough to take my trip.
Buyer: That's incredibly tragic. I was planning to bike cross country to raise money for juvenile cancer patients. And to do that I'll need a small tent that I can carry with me on the bike, which'll cost me 250.
Seller: My friend is dying of cancer. You give me 1250 and I can give you my tent
Buyer: That I can do.
