PROBLEM: Seller: Hello, I'm asking 40 dollars for this armoir.
Buyer: I saw that in the listing. What's wrong with it?
Seller: The only issue is the handle on the right door is missing but it's easily replaced. 
Buyer: Well, from the photo it looks like I'll need to refinish the piece and get a full new set of hardware so they all match. I'd be willing to pay $16.
Seller: 16 is way too low for a large piece of furniture like this. I can't take less than 30.
Buyer: At $30 it would have to come with a supermodel moving company to install it in my bedroom before having a pillow fight.  At $24 we have a deal.
Seller: I'll accept the deal, unfortunately no supermodels here.
Seller: 
Buyer: Okay, thanks.

PROBLEM: Buyer: Hello I am really interested in this product
Seller: That's great. I'm interested in selling it to you.
Buyer: How old is it? 
Seller: The iphone 5 was first released in 2012, but I guess I don't remember when I bought it? It's almost like I would have remembered if I had thought to write it down in the product description. Oh well.
Buyer: Thank you for the information. However, the price is too high for me. can we work on it?
Seller: Yes, I suppose we can negotiate. Let's negotiate, that's what I always say.
Buyer: I can pay about $82 for it
Seller: Well, that's a pretty attractive offer. Now we just need to decide where to do the deal. Would you like to meet up in a Tmobile store or would you rather meet up at a gas station?
Buyer: Gas station works really well for me. Thanks for the options. When can we do that?
Seller: Well, I always think it's best to wait until it's really dark and spooky to meet up at a gas station, maybe we can meet up at midnight, exchange the phone and just see where the night takes us from there. Maybe get some slurpees from the gas station?
Buyer: Okay I think we're done with the deal and will meet up tomorrow then! Thanks
Buyer: 
Seller: Great, looking forward to meeting you in a gas station.

PROBLEM: Buyer: Hi your apartments look really nice. I a looking for a one bedroom on the first floor, do you have any available?
Seller: Yes, I do. You will love this one. They are beautiful and have a lot of extras.
Buyer: Could you tell  me about the kitchen? Is it spacious enough for a table or is it small and narrow?
Seller: Yes, the interior is very spacious. And the appliances are brand new! We have one bedroom flats and lofts.
Buyer: I would love to take the one bedroom flat. I have two cats. Are there any additional charges for the animals ? 
Seller: You are in luck. You can have two cats for a small monthly charge. 
Buyer: I am definitely interested, would you be willing to accept 1700?
Seller: No, the rent is $1850.  The location can't be beat-near shopping and schools and colleges. You can take a bus or easily drive to one of the places

Buyer: That sounds great then. I will do it for 1850. Thank you!
