PROBLEM: Seller: Hello and how are you doing today? I have a steal of a deal for you today. This 75 inch TV is for the low price of $1400 and it is still under manufacturer's warranty.
Buyer: That's a great TV, but I'm on a really strict budget. I busted our TV when I was doing a roundhouse kick in the living room showing off for friends. I'm in the doghouse big time, but can only afford $700.
Seller: Sorry to hear that. Well you are definitely in luck. Your offer is too low though, remember this is a brand new Smart TV. The specs are great. I am willing to do $1100
Buyer: It does sound like a great deal. How about $1000 cash? I can pick it up within the hour and will be grateful till the end of time!
Seller: $1050 and you have a deal.
Seller:
Buyer: You got it. Thanks!

PROBLEM: Buyer: Hello. I am interested in the bed.
Seller: Hi, I really need to sell this bed quickly so I can make room in my garage. I can deliver it to you and throw in a mattress if you are willing to pay $150. Do we have a deal?
Buyer: Thats a little high. If I come pick it up, are you willing to offer it for $75>
Seller: No way! That is half the price I am asking. I can do $125 and deliver it. That is the lowest I can go.
Buyer: If I pick it up will $115 work?
Seller: Do you have something that you can give me (like some other furniture, such as end tables) that I can sell to make up the difference?
Buyer: Yes I do have some end tables.
Seller: Okay that sounds great! I will take the pair of end tables and sell you the bed for $115. Thanks!

Buyer: I am interested in buying this tablet you have for sale, how old is it?
Seller: It's pretty much brand new. I rarely used it!
