PROBLEM: Seller: Today only you get to enjoy a brand new iPhone 6 with 6 gigs. We bought this for our mother but she is too old fashioned, so we got her a flip phone. It is literally almost new
Buyer: Great. I am interesting but can't quite manage the asking price. I was hoping 160 would be acceptable.
Seller: I am sorry I meant 64 gigs with everything you need to get started I want to give you that rate but understand this phone is more than just 320 original, I can let it go for 300
Buyer: I understand. We're moving the right direction. I was hoping we could meet in the middle. Maybe 175 cash would be better?
Seller: iPhone 6 has so many capabilities and the picture quality is supurb. I can do 290.
Buyer: It's a quality phone without a doubt but that's still a little rich for my blood. If I could get it for 192 that would make me happy. I have cash and can pick it up tonight.
Seller: I knock off 50 dollars so that would be $270 I take it too and even gift wrap it for you. Again this is savings altogether, because you get a very good phone at a discounted rate.
Buyer:
Buyer: I'll take it.

SOLUTION: phone

PROBLEM: Buyer: I am interested in the apartmnet
Seller: It is still available and quite beautiful. What questions do you have?
Buyer: None really, i have seen it before when a friend lived there. I know for a fact that the rent advertised is much higher than what he pays
Seller: Well this is one of the upgraded units with carpeting and AC. The rent is quite fair. Can I ask what he pays?
Buyer: He has an upgraded unit and pays 1200. I understand rent has gone up in the past 2 years, so i am willing to pay 1350
Seller: I think your friend might be lying about his rent.
Buyer: I dont think so, we are very close.
Seller: Feel free to make me an offer.
Buyer: 1400 and i will work as super for the whole place
Seller: As long as you are willing to clean the dog crap off the lawn then that will work.
Seller:
Buyer: Done deal, im into that
Buyer:

SOLUTION: housing

PROBLEM: Buyer: Does it have any scratches/scuffs or anything like that?
Seller: No, it's in like-new condition
Buyer: I was looking at something similar but in a full size. Can you come down on the price? If the price is good, I can get different sheets etc.
Seller: I have some new sheets I can throw in if you're willing to pay the listing price.
Buyer: I could do $85 and we're picky about sheets because of allergies but thank you.
Seller: That seems a little lower than I can do. I can come down a bit, but you'll need to do better than that.
Buyer: Can you deliver it?
Seller: I have a van, so that shouldn't be a problem, but I'll really need around $135 to make it worth my while
Buyer: I can go $110 delivered.
Seller: 125 is the best I can do.
Buyer: I can't for more than $115.00
Seller: I really can't do less than $125
Buyer: If you go ahead and put the sheets with it I'll do $120.00
Seller: For 125, I'll throw in the sheets, but with that and delivery, I think that's more than a fair price
Buyer: Ok, deal
