Bargaining

A: How much do you want for it?

B:45 dollars.

A: Forty-five dollars? It is too much. But it is not in very good condition. Look, it is broken here. I don't think it is worth 45 dollars. I will give 25 dollars.

B: Twenty-five dollars? C'mon. I tell you what, this is a real Chinese vase. You can have it for 40 dollars.

A: no , that is still too much. To tell you the truth, I can't afford 40 dollars.

B:I' m sorry. That is my last word.

A: Let's split the difference, 30 dollars.

B: Thirty-five. No less.

A: Ok, I'll take it.
