PROBLEM: Seller: Hello, how are you today? 
Buyer: I'm good, and I am interested in purchasing your bicycle. 
Seller: Wonderful. It is a really fantastic bike, I just don't ride it enough. It deserves to go to a home where it can be appreciated fully. 
Buyer: Oh ok. What kind of condition is it in?
Seller: It is in like new condition. I bought it and rode it less than 20 miles total. 
Buyer: That's good. How long have you had it?
Seller: I have owned it for about a year. I bought it brand new. Thought I would be able to ride it more. 
Buyer: Oh ok. I love the bike but do you think we can go a little lower on the price?
Seller: It does have a lot of aftermarket extras. I could go a little lower, but not too much. What are you thinking? 
Buyer: What about 900
Seller: 900 is faaaaarrrrr below market value. I could not go that low. The only way I can negotiate is if I knew about your rental history and willingness to sign a 2 year lease. Anything past 2 years, I am leary of. 
Buyer: Ok how about 1050?
Seller: And I thoroughly confused you! I am so sorry! how about we split the difference and go with 1,000? I will even meet you in a central location and that works for both of us. 
Buyer: That sounds good, thanks!

PROBLEM: Seller: Hello
Buyer: Hi, I am interested in buying your digital answering machine. Can you give me more details?
Seller: Yes, absolutely! This is a very fine piece. In 2017 one of this biggest problems is that people can't leave voice messages on your land line. This bad boy solves all of that. It not only records the message, it also notes the date and time. It can even be mounted on the wall with velcro or used as a target for your shotgun!
Buyer: Haha. Would you be willing to take $16 for it?
Seller: Sorry, but I think the lowest I could go is $15
Buyer: Okay $15 sounds good to me.
Seller: Alright, if you're going to pull my leg, I can do $14.
