Seller: There are no scratches. it was kept covered. It has only been used a few times.
Buyer: Was this used by an adult or a child?
Seller: It was supposed to be for a child but she decided to take up the saxaphone instead so it has been mostly stored away.
Buyer: I can do $275 for it.

PROBLEM: Buyer: Hello, I am interested in your Samsung Galaxies!
Seller: Hi! I have 6 Samsung Galaxy S8s listed, how many are you interested in?
Buyer: I am interested in all 6! However, $650 is a little high for me. I was thinking $550 would be fair
Seller: Hmm, they are brand new devices though. Still in the box with the original wrapping. They have never been used before and they are Samsung's latest model just released. I could do $600/each
Buyer: I am little bit worried about them exploding. I saw in the news that some of the Samsung phones exploded! I don't think I could risk losing that much money. Would you take $585 for them?
Seller: Don't worry about them exploding! That was the Galaxy Note series, and Samsung has taken extreme measures to prevent that from happening again. But yes, I'll take $585!
Buyer: Okay great, thanks!

PROBLEM: Buyer: How long have you had the Beats?
Seller: I have only had them for a month bought them thinking I would use them more but well I guess I am not that much of a headphone person
Buyer: I can understand that. They look like they are in excellent condition. Is there any dings, scratches, or scuffs on them?
Seller: Not a single mark on them look exactally the same they did the day I bought them
Buyer: Wonderful. I know you just bought them a month ago, but are you willing to negotiate the price some?
Seller: I really wanted to get 175 as that is 25 less than what i paid but I guess I could go down to 160 if you can get them today
