Hello, I am selling a Specialized M2 Stump Jumper in excellent condition, barely used. I see that you are interested.
I am very interested in the bike. I am looking to purchase my son a bike for him to use this summer. How old is the bike?
The bike is 22 years old, but it has been kept in storage.
Why are you now selling it?
We're expecting a new baby on the way, and we will need to get many new things to prepare.
Well, I don't know that I can afford the asking price. Are you willing to go down to $200? I would be able to come by and pick it up or meet you at an agreed upon location to get the bike.
It is in excellent condition. $275 is about as low as I can go. Even today a compareable bicycle will run you over $1000 dollars.
I completely understand and agree. Unfortunately, I have a limited budget for his birthday gift. I have been working for about three weeks to locate a great bike in an affordable price range, and it has been tough. I have cash and could do $250
$250 sounds reasonable. $250 then?
Sounds good. I am submitting the offer right now.
